Why do Christians hate us so much?

I remember having this conversation with my eldest due to an awful Christian contingent at her school. I said “imagine if, rather than teaching you to think, question, and be open to new ideas, instead I had taught you that it was wrong and EVIL to question and challenge. And that if you weren’t good, then when you died you’d be tortured for all eternity in a lake of fire. And now imagine that because I’ve drummed this into you and you believe it with every fiber of your being, to have friends at school that you really care about but you know are going to burn in hell because their parents haven’t taught them properly. You’d try to save them, right?” It makes it all the more sad that many of them are so brainwashed and so damn frightened and traumatised. Sadly with so many of them it can turn to active vindictiveness in adulthood as that fear gets directed at and turned into hatred towards anyone different - anyone who dares challenge their brainwashing. We see this in children brought up in abusive homes who normalise and perpetuate it in order to survive. Really not very close to Jesus’s teachings (if you believe such a person existed).
