They arent a religion its a cult. they perverted the bible and made their own version.(NWT) They only study using Watchtower material to study from. They pass out information and go door to door trying hard to convert people who think they are getting Jesus but are getting a fake Jesus. All you have to do is read a valid bible and see they are a perversion of the real deal.

It is true that Jehovah's Witnesses are not loved by everyone.
http://jw-media.org/newsroom/human_rights.htm
Some people hate Jehovah's Witnesses out of ignorance, or over some misunderstanding. A few may have had a bad personal experience with an individual who claimed to be a Jehovah's Witness, and prejudicially extended their animus to this entire Christian religion.
However, it seems that the majority of anti-Witness hatred is motivated by religious intolerance and bigotry. A few may even be motivated against their Christian worship by the unseen 'god of this system of things', Satan the Devil.
(2 Corinthians 4:4) the god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers
Interestingly, such "hatred" should be expected by true Christians in this time of the end, and it actually helps identify Jehovah's Witnesses as Christ's true disciples:
(John 15:19) If you were part of the world, the world would be fond of what is its own. Now because you are no part of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, on this account the world hates you.
(Luke 6:22) Happy are you whenever men hate you, and whenever they exclude you and reproach you and cast out your name as wicked for the sake of the Son of man.
(1 Peter 4:4) Because you do not continue running with them in this course to the same low sink of debauchery, they are puzzled and go on speaking abusively of you.
(2 Timothy 4:3-5) For there will be a period of time when they will not put up with the healthful teaching, but, in accord with their own desires, they will accumulate teachers for themselves to have their ears tickled; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, whereas they will be turned aside to false stories. You, though, keep your senses in all things, suffer evil, do the work of an evangelizer, fully accomplish your ministry.
It seems signficant that the relatively small religion of Jehovah's Witnesses are the ones best known for their worldwide preaching work. Yet Jesus commanded that ALL who would call themselves "Christian" perform this public work:
(Matthew 28:19,20) Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you. And, look! I am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.

Who's told you the JW's are the most hated? There are many more religions hated far more than the Jehovah Witnesses.

(John 15:17-20) “These things I command YOU, that YOU love one another. 18Â If the world hates YOU, YOU know that it has hated me before it hated YOU. 19Â If YOU were part of the world, the world would be fond of what is its own. Now because YOU are no part of the world, but I have chosen YOU out of the world, on this account the world hates YOU. 20Â Bear in mind the word I said to YOU, A slave is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will persecute YOU also; if they have observed my word, they will observe YOURS also.
(Matthew 10:22) And YOU will be objects of hatred by all people on account of my name; but he that has endured to the end is the one that will be saved.

Perhpas because they made their own Bible, like the first Christian Jews, who created their own Bible, rather than rely on the Holy Torah that had sustained the true people of God for hundreds of years.
Perhaps like the first Christian Jews, the JWs don't have people with advanced educations in the religious arts. They are uneducated, like socially lower class individuals like Peter, a failed Fisherman, and Matthew, a hated tax collector.
They are not like other religions, that have well educated individuals, following the example of Saul of Tarsus, who proved that the Christian Jews were just another cult who were going house to house telling their fellow people that many of the rituals, holiday observances, and beliefs, that have been held holy for hundreds of year, were no longer valid..

What you have to ask yourself is what is it you fear about them?
If you were a Jew of the first century, would you also call your fellow Jews,
who were following the teachings of an lower class ex-carpenter, who had no formal education, let alone in the religious arts, and who was executed for cause by the governing authority,
a cult?

You might be confusing hatred with setting the record straight. What is the truth about the JW's. There are so many holes in that organization, it's very easy to disect and expose it for what it is. I'd say the JW biggest enemy is what is the truth of the matter. But about being the most hated, it's Christianity itself, that without a doubt is the most hated faith.

It's not the most hated. There are other religions more reviled, for example Catholics, Jews, Muslims., just to name a few.
