No atheist hates god. How can you hate something you don't think exists?

    The correct word would be "antitheist"

    I guess you can hate god as a concept. God can be proven to exists in human minds (no esoteric stuff, just psychology and sociology). You can hate this scientific fact and what it means for humankind.

    Tbf, you can think god isn't "real" while also hating the concept of "god" for being responsible for so much war and division throughout history (among other reasons.)

    Well in that case, if a religious person accuses you that you hate their god, it's still not true. Because that religious person thinks of their god as a real entity, while you hate their concept of god. The target of that hate is not the same.

    Since we are already being unhelpful: Atheist don't all are unsure about if God exists. Some may believe God does not exist, some don't care. Some believers might be unsure or don't care either.
