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'm a Pantheist and I think Jesus was cool

@AlchemyFox He forgave a prostitute knowing that men usually are at the root of why they do that. He turned water into wine at a wedding when they ran out. He turned a few loaves of bread and fishes into enough to feed a huge crowd of people who came to listen to him ,and had baskets of it leftover after everyone had their fill. He wasn’t into materialism and greed, he declared that offspring no longer have to carry the burden of guilt for whatever their ancestors did up to 7 generations back, he opposed the burdensome legalism of the day and simplified the Law by saying number one love God with all your heart, mind and soul and prove it by the way you treat others (feed the hungry, clothe the naked and heal the sick instead of pouring money over to the Pharisees to hoard for themselves) he took up for abused children saying it would be better if the abusers who created a stumbling block for those children to be hung by a rope with a grindstone around their necks and thrown into the sea. Everything was cool that Jesus did in my book. He created a paradigm shift by getting people who followed him to change their way of thinking of things both spiritual and every day life.
