The question itself says lot. It suggests, to me at least, that your world view is so rigid as to be unable to imagine the perspective of a non-believer.

How could I possibly hate a being that I have no evidence even exists? I will admit to not being overly fond of those Christians who want to impose their views on others, either through proselytizing or by legislation. (This excludes the nice Jehovah Witness ladies like the ones who rang my doorbell this week, who are generally very sweet, polite and kinda cute dressed up in their Sunday best. I always take their literature and even read it from time to time.) Overall, I have no problem with theists of most flavors, but tend toward impatience of when confronted by fundamentalists or evangelicals of any religion.

It is not easy to be an atheist in a predominantly theistic country. You get called everything from communist to pervert. Theists expect to be shown deference but often aren't willing to show even a modicum of respect for those who do not share their beliefs. Doing a quick search on Volconvo provides examples. One poster asserts: " ATHEISTS: Life is Meaningless, Valueless, Purposeless. I challenge any atheist to refute me given my assumptions." Another suggests that atheists must have a mental defect of some sort. And so on and so on.

So no, I have no particular "hatred" for your God. I have no great fondness for your dogma and doctrine, but that is somewhat different question.
