I'm not really a religious person but I've always wondered.

Yes.
Sin is a deliberate thought, word, deed, or omission contrary to the eternal law of God.
Hate is an offense against the two great commandments:
"You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind."
"You shall love your neighbor as yourself."
With love in Christ.

Yes and it'll eat you up and spit you out.
1Corithians 13
1If I speak in the tongues[a] of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames,[b] but have not love, I gain nothing.
4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. 11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a woman, I put childish ways behind me. 12Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Hate is not a sin but it is not a quality that should be found in Christians.
Jesus stated at John 13:35-"By this all will know that you are my disciples,if you have love among yourselves"

Sin means "to miss the mark ... to fall short". Seems to me that hatred might be a bit on the "fallilng short" side.

Not necessarily. Hate can lead to sin. But it is not a sin in and of itself. For example, it is not wrong to hate murder, rape etc.

Yes, it is a sin, because God Is the Father Of us all.

No, nothing is a sin, sin doesn't exist outside of fairy tales.
