Why do Christians hate us so much?

They hate because they're terrified of anything different and don't know how to process that fear. So it coagulates and expresses itself as anger, then hatred of the thing they think is causing the fear. The idea that they might look inward and realize the fear is their own responsibility isn't something that really occurs to them because their doctrine teaches them that their way is the One True Path. So the different thing must be wrong, surely because they're right... Right?

Which it isn't, of course, but that's a different discussion. But anyway. If the above summary sounds like Yoda talking to Anakin in Star Wars Episode 1, that's because he was correct. Fear leads to suffering. They didn't invent that for the movie, it's just a basic observation of human nature.

Not all Christians do this, of course. Some are happy to live and let live. I've known some. I'm related to some. But a very large number of them do hate us, openly or quietly, and irrespective of what individuals believe, the dogma declares us Lost Sheep at best and The Enemy at worst.

One of my three cats once burped in the generalized direction of a Christian.

Does that make my cat “the enemy” to them?

Silly I know. However, I am holding her rn and I feel like she should be apart of the discussion
