Religion does tend to ruin things and while most dumb people do believe in a god of some kind, believing in a god doesn't necessarily make you dumb. Although religion does, at times, make intelligent people very stupid.
Still though, I can't say I hate religion, religious people or religious institutions. I do feel some level of disgust and disdain for some of the things religious folks say and do, but I don't know if "hate" is quite the right word to use. I don't think I have ever met a non-believer who "hates" religious folks or religion itself for that matter.
Where exactly do you get this idea that atheists "hate" religion?
review this thread and others. ridicule, much worse than laughing, has been put on theists by atheists.
disrespecting, implying they are dumb, and/or flat out calling them stupid/dumb/retarded/etc.
