Didn't read the whole thing.
To answer the thread title, you can't hate what you don't believe in.
You can hate the organisation that has sprung up around it, that claims to follow it, and that acts in its name.
You can also hate those who claim to speak for it, and, to a degree, those who follow them.
Example:
I don't hate "god". I simply don't believe it exists.
I do hate the Catholic church for all it has done, and continues to do, to keep itself in influence, wealth, and comfort.
I hate the priests and the nuns who have systematically abused children and others, enforcing racist doctrines against native peoples around the world, and have held back science and learning for hundreds of years.
I hate the leaders of the church for covering up and protecting pedo priests and abusers throughout the world, who perpetuate and celebrate hideous individuals like "mother" Theresa, who stop women from gaining influence withon their boys' club.
And, in many ways, I hate the followers who see these excesses, these abuses, and still blindly follow this outdated organisation or, worse, who support and abet them.

"You did WHAT? With WHO? WHERE???"
