No, atheism does not imply hatred of God. Atheism simply refers to the lack of belief in the existence of deities. It is a philosophical or theological position about belief, not about emotions like hatred.
Hatred of a deity would presuppose belief in that deity, which contradicts the definition of atheism. While some atheists may have strong negative feelings about religion or specific religious practices due to personal experiences or ideological disagreements, this is separate from their atheism. Conversely, many atheists feel neutral or even respectful toward religious traditions without believing in a deity.
