I have not experienced this hatred directly, but I know it exists. It is out of my experience simply because I am not vocal about being an atheist, and none of my close friends are particularly religious.
That being said, I think that ignorance is behind most hatred. People who hate atheists, don't understand atheists. It may also be that atheists somehow threaten them as I am sure that religious people often have doubts about their faith.
