If his dad loved him like a parent should love their child, then Cinjin's beliefs shouldn't fucking matter. As many mothers and fathers have said, "I don't agree with you but I'll always love you."
One should get very angry at a "father" who is only by blood and a detriment to every great father who ever lived, a splotch on the term itself. Love for your child is one of the strongest bonds formed -- to think one could "write off" one's own child, for something so arbitrary and petty, against the entire history and personality of the child, represents a relationship built not on love, but on control, power and abuse.
That makes sense. His father was a little too harsh on him. He should have said something like, "I don't agree with you but I'll always love you," as you mentioned above. So feeling angry at him is not unreasonable.
EDIT: But maybe his father does love him, because not saying that doesn't mean that he doesn't love him.
There are many parents who do force their religious beliefs onto their kids but they still love them.
His father is upset because he thinks that Cinjin will go to Hell which means that he cares about his son. Also, I don't know about the type of relationship that Cinjin and his father had during the past years of knowing each other. Therefore, I wouldn't make the judgement that his father doesn't love him. You can say that his love is weak, though, but not that it's not there at all.
