Several things I hate about the ways of theists.
-The way they use Hell as a threat for those who don't believe, and how many of them take glee in the idea that atheists will one day be in hell and get their comeuppance for having a different belief than them.
-The way they treat women in general. "It's not a legitimate rape if..." sounds familiar. Women are also forbidden from becoming ordained in Catholicism, and the treatment of women by Muslims speaks for itself.
-The way they are convinced they are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. That there's no possibility that they're wrong.
-The way they treat homosexuals.
-The way they say "NOT ALL ____". Sure, not all of you, but enough of you are vocal about it. It's very much a factor. Also "No True" fallacy fits in here as well.
-The way many of them want to force their beliefs on others. Especially through policy
-The way most of them refuse to have any skepticism and just readily accept the bible as inerrant. Even though we have no idea who wrote it.
-The way most of them outright deny science, no matter how much proof is in front of their faces
-The way they say "God works in mysterious ways" to explain everything they can't explain
-The way they use god to explain things they can't explain
-The way they are so judgmental. Too many Christians have I known who say you'll go to hell just because you don't go to church enough.
-The way many of them assume they have a monopoly on love, and think anything that falls outside their definition of love is perversion.
There's many many many things. And no, they don't apply to EVERY theist. You'll never find anything that applies to EVERY body of ANY group. That's why I listed that as one of the things I hate about them.

The whole tone of Church teaching in regard to woman is, to the last degree, contemptuous and degrading. - Elizabeth Cady Stanton
