If you look deeply into what the christian religion is, you'll find its a means of controlling, through fear of damnation, the general public. the best way of controlling people is convince them that they have a common enemy, the devil. Its motivates people to do things they wouldn't normaly do like kill other humans or give all their money to a church. Anyone who doesn't believe in the church degrades the churches power over people and therefore must be hated. This includes pagans. That's a very very condensed version and I hope it still made sense.

If Christians are not supposed to judge people then why do they not like anyone who is a pagan?
It is only judgment if they have given up on you as a lost cause or think you are beyond God's Help.
Christians should never Judge a person's heart. we can not and do not have the power to do so. But we are & have the authority to judge a person's fruit. If someone murders another then he would be a murderor, a person who lies is a liar. there actions are the fruit. while a person may commit sin (baring evil fruit) only God can determine that the root is rotten too.
Hate the sin not the sinner. people forget this simple rule and people forget that we are to love each other as we love ourselves.

Because no one is perfect. Unfortunately, that is why there is so much hypocrisy in the church. Agnostics and Atheists have it easier in this area because all they have to do is stick with what they say to avoid being hypocrites. Christians have to obey many Biblical commandments and ultimatums like "Love one another," which is clearly impossible for a mere man to live out completely. The fact is, these commandments or guidelines established for Christians were set with the obvious understanding that no one except for Christ would be able to follow them. A good way to look at it is to view the church as a spiritual hospital. It's not for people in perfect spiritual health. It's for people who need help. No Christian is perfect. This is why Christians judge people.

Because the bible told them so. It's quite silly actually when you make a list of the harm those professing to be Christian have done to innocents all over the earth the last 2000 years. Then make a list of those pagans have harmed. The answer as to which is more dangerous is clear to see.

I know that Christians try to be "Christ" like. I also know that Christ surrounded himselves in what Christians would term "Sinners".
Christians will not support a pagan, but at the same time should not shun them. If any Christian is shunning or judging a person, they too are sinning. That is something God will judge them for...
Christians are not suppose to judge, God is.
From a Christian point of view that is.....

Not all Christians are like this, just some. Let's be fair here...
And yes, you're right. Those Christians who pass judgement and discriminate against and/or hate Pagans are very poor Christians who are failing to follow the law as laid down by their Savior. Christ commanded that Christians embrace EVERYONE, not just their own kind.

People are fallible. God loves you, that is what is important. Many people professing to be Christian give lip service to God, but do not live life the way He wants. As it has been said, that is their choice. We ARE commanded to love all, even our enemy. Even the gentile and the unbeliever. As was I. And many Christians loved me even then. You are just getting those Christians who give all of us a bad name. But, just because we love you, doesn't mean that we won't try to tell you that paganism is a road to destruction. Quite the opposite. We tell you that paganism is a road to destruction because we don't want to see you destroyed. Just as the for love for a child we will tell them they can't fly off the roof like Superman. Not to crush their dreams, but to keep them safe from harm.

I'm not sure if I would equate "judging" with "dislike". That said, Jesus said to "love your neighbor".
If you are a pagan and Christians have targeted you and condemned you, shame on them!

Your information is wrong, Christians are told that they will be judged by the same standards they use and they had better be right. They are not instructed to not judge.
