A moderate Christian, according to me, is a person who's somewhat Christian, but doesn't attend church regularly, and I also don't read the Bible regularly.

If you do not attend church regularly or read the Bible then, I have to tell you, there are many Catholics out there who - by your own standards - are better Christians than you are.
If you wish to be counted among Christians, that is to say - be more Christ-like, then dispense with hatred, especially your hatred against whole groups of people.
Perhaps, if you attended more church services, and actually read the Bible, you would notice that Jesus teaches us to love our neighbor, not hate them.

you should read the bible, it tells us we are not to hate anyone. Many Christians don't attend church for one reason or another, or read the Bible, that doesn't make you a moderate Christian, there is no such thing. Sometimes we just get lazy & take our faith for granted. It's hard sometimes, but we must continue to try.

No, it is not normal, it is sick. You need to see a mental health professional.
Then you need to see a spiritual advisor who has some knowledge who can tell you that Roman Catholics (which is what you mean) are part of the Christian body, and in fact their faith tradition is much older and stronger than yours.
Finally, you need to know that people who think that somehow they themselves are "Christians" and Roman Catholics somehow are not Christians have failed to understand or be part of the Christian body. In other words, you have shown yourself not to be a Christian at all.

Moderate Christian is an oxymoron (no offense intended). Thats like me saying I am a Christian hooker.
No it is not normal to hate anyone, whether you are a "Christian" or not. But most assuredly if you are a Christian. We Christians are to show the love of Christ, and when our humaness cannot do it, we are to "practice" the fruits of the spirit

You ain't even close to being a Christian, you are a hypocrite. Christians don't hate. In fact in my life time I have yet to meet a 100 % Christian anywhere. Oh a lot of them say they are which is a lot of BS. You can't be two faced and be a Christian.

to say that you are moderate christian is like saying im a little pregnant lol...either you are or you're arent.. so you're christian but you hate catholics?...if you are really a christian, there shouldnt be any amnimosity towards anyone... you are taught to love everyone and care for everyone. I'm christian and my husbands family is catholic ...his mom tells me if you believe in GOD thats all that matters...examine yourself why you dont like catholics what is the root of this ?...for you to asked that question indicates you have some doubts ...research it further...

If you are a Christian, doesn't Jesus teach you to love all? Unless something happened, you really don't have a reason to hate people that pretty much believe what you believe. Catholics are Christians so your hating your religious brother.

My suggestion would be disapprove, don't hate.Because hatred will automatically take away your moderate quality.Also focus more on your beliefs than channelising your energies towards disbelieving others. I agree any conservative religion can be very suffocating and annoying which is precisely why moderates should ignore them as much as possible.

If you are a Christian you can't really hate them, you disagree with their doctrine like I do, but not hatred. You can replace it by saying "I strongly disagree with the Catholics" See that's much better. What do you mean moderate Christian, you mean a baby Christian???

WHAT IS A MODERATE CHRISTIAN?
Did you find a moderate Christ?
Catholic is a religion not a people.
I think you need to go back to the cross.
Jesus will meet you there.
Ask Him to cleans your heart.
REPLACE THE HATE WITH LOVE
