The peace sign, as seen today, is not a broken cross. It was originally designed for the nuclear disarmament campaign, and is still recognized as such in Great Britain. It has been widely accepted as the peace sign worldwide.
It is a combination of the air-flag signals for N(uclear) and D(isarmament). the sign for N is two flags pointed at downward angles and D is one flag up and the other down. it was made in 1958. it has absolutely nothing to do with anti-christians or broken crosses.

The peace sign (minus the circle around it) has a 1300 year history as an anti-Christian symbol. It was also used by the Nazis in WWII.
Better known as St. Peter's broken cross as St. Peter, not wanting the value of his own execution to be mistakenly put on the level as crucifixion of Christ, asked that he be crucified upside down. Remember that the ancient world was filled with people who could not read and there for relied on symbols to relate information.
Early Christians used the cross, an anchor, the ichthys (fish) and dozens of other symbols to relay messages of encouragement and allegiances and such to others in the area. Many other people of non-Christian beliefs also used symbols for similar purposes.

∙ 11y agoYes ... Inverted Broken Cross
A broken, upside down cross is an earlier usage. It was apparently designed by Gerald Herbert Holtrom for the Direct Action Committee against Nuclear War, in 1958.
His associate, Bertrand Russell may be the chief promoter of that symbol. He was an atheist who expressed his desire for widespread plagues, to cull and decrease the world's population. He may very well have understood the prior symbolism of that sign. There has been speculation that Russell may have been a closet satanist, but no substantiation that I have cursorily found. Christians would see episodes and attitudes expressed of himself in his writings that would tend to allow demonic influence in a person's life.

Where is the peace emblem used in religion or a occult and what for?
The peace emblem doesn't really factor into the occult in any significant way. However, the fringe religious fantatics have claimed from time to time that the peace symbol is an upside down cross with its arms broken, inverting and refuting the Christian doctrine of salvation. While creative, this is absolutel not true. The peace symbol was supposedly a dove's foot, doves being symbols of peace... this may be apocryphal, but its as good an explination as any.
