That's why people hate, not why they hate atheists to the degree they do. I don't think anybody lacks understanding about sexual orientation, but gays end up near the bottom anyway.
Your answer doesn't explain why atheists are consistently hated more.
I don't believe they're hated more. Perhaps there's an identifiable victim bias or availability bias you'd like to discuss. I personally, don't hate atheists any more than anyone else, myself included. I get that you might perceive more attacks from your perspective on atheists, you being one. But you can see where I'm having problems with the generalization when I don't hold the views that you're attempting to frame around "All Christians".
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
