If god existed id hate him for being lazy and for being crap at expressing himself
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them. Impersonation is treason.  
What's a god?

The whole movie is meant to be spiritual with some funny fight scenes. On topic. I don't hate god. I think a god exists. I don't like the idea that we should blindly follow some BS in an old book.

I think one of the common misconception among theists is that we atheists actually believe in a god but somehow hate that god for some perceived injustice or a desire to be heathens. The logic of your question is badly flawed. To hate something one must accept that thing as true and valid. By its very definition, atheism is a lack of belief in a god or gods. Therefore, asking and atheist why he hates god is like asking (I love this analogy) the marital status of the number 5. It just doesn't compute. If you want answers, ask why we don't believe in a god. Ask why we hate religion and all of the accompanying separatism, discrimination, misogynistic viewpoints, controlling rules and financial insincerity. See, god is not the problem because god doesn't exist. It is the evil that is carried out in his name that is the problem.

Just condensing your post to a few points.

I have problems with some peoples' concepts of god such as he's a jealous, vengeful entity who punishes anyone who doesn't follow a particular denomination or sect within a specific religion. Mystical traditions can result in a concept of god which is very different. I don't believe in god because of lack of evidence for any deity other than as subjective experiences produced by human brains - this is why I'm very interested in that branch of neuroscience which is investigating what happens in the brains of people who believe they are having a religious experience.
