Many Atheists Clearly Hate God. Why Is This?

If a person[b] truly[/b] believes that someone isn't real, then how is this even possible? I don't [i]hate[/i] any of the characters I've come across in fiction, even when within the story they've done horrendous things, because I know they don't actually exist, and so my hatred would be pointless and I'd only be making myself miserable for no reason whatsoever.
That being the case, who do so many atheists so clearly hate God? If He's not real, then... I'm sorry, but it makes zero sense to me!

I would say it has more to do with Christians and being overly pushy and shoving their faith on as many as they can

@Torsten Okay. How do we do that? I ask because where I live, I haven't seen a "pushy Christian" in literally years. They just don't seem to be around much. Maybe it was because of the coronavirus, when so many had to stay indoors for so long.

@FormerAtheist seriously? so many Christians cant help themselves and try forcing their beliefs on everyone. Even happens on this site all the time

@Torsten Yes, [b]seriously![/b] I don't even get the Jehovah's Witnesses knocking on my door, and I used to really like that because I'd get the chance to debate theology with them.
