Being a Christian, i can only answer the last half of the question. What i love about being a Christian is having hope. And when you truly want to imitate Christ, it makes you a loving, giving person who looks for other people's interests first ahead of your own. I can see where non-Christians would find some professed Christians as being hypocritical - but rest assured that Christ despised hypocrites and exposed them continually.

As a Christian, I hate denominations; they just divide us. I love The Holy Spirit; He unites us.
Bikernoj, that's a huge generalisation to make. Every human being is a hypocrite at some point in their lives. If you've ever told a child that it's wrong to swear but do it yourself, you're a hypocrite; on this point, I'm not a hypocrite because I never swear. However, I have told children it's wrong to tell lies and have found myself telling the occasional lie, so that makes me a hypocrite.
However, as far as my beliefs go, I do my best to live up to them. I don't consider myself to be a 'religious hypocrite'.

I hate the bigotry and intolerance that so many Christians develop, and I hate that so many Christians are prone to becoming pawns of corrupt leaders like Ted Haggert & Pat Robertson. I especially hate that so many of these Christians are self-righteous. In other words, I hate the corruption of Christianity, and that so many Christians have been corrupted.

First of all, I'm Pagan.
This is what I've grown to hate, even though I don't want to hate a religion and really don't want to hate a person: The aggressiveness some Christians have about wanting others to believe as they do, or at least act like it, to the point that they'll even try to get certain things banned from the media or pass legislation against, say, same-sex marriage.
My aunt sent this article to my agnostic wife. It basically says if you don't believe in Jesus, you should fake it until you make it and at least have the decency to pretend like you're Christian. It infuriated us both and made her feel much more solidly atheist.

I am convinced that too many Christians are more interested in their own personal comfort, in removing temptations and options from their own view, and in conformity than truly growing in their faith.
Well, you asked. *shrug*

As a non-christian I must first say that I do not like the idea of or the practice of hate. Hate is a huge investment that I am not willing to make.
What I do not like about religion in general is the way its adherents are so assured of their own correctness, and equally assured of the incorrectness of others. I do not like their drive to conquer and assimilate. When I see a force coming at me, ready to consume me, I naturally resist.

The peace that passes all understanding. That's what I love the most. I am a friend of God.
Way to go, Combat Medic!

I hate the fact that most so called Christians will follow along with the traditions of the church and not even read their Bibles- because if they did they would start to question most of the things the church does---

Self righteous attitudes of people who are really building material goods on this earth through church property. The fact that they wax elloquent about the 'help' and 'charity' they provide to the community, when in reality 97% of their funds go towards church property and member services. Almost every church is a country club with a cross stuck on it, and the members behave in the same manner. Yet these people talk about 'faith based' initiatives as though they are providing all the charity in the world.

I am a Christian. I love Jesus, without whom Christianity would not exist. That He loved me enough to go to the cross willingly to pay for my sins.

I hate the fact that many Christians (especially the loud evangelicals and fundamentalists) are so strict with everything and what's worse is that they don't always know why (except that it's written in the bible). It's like they don't know how to explain it in "real world" terms and they don't neccessarly know why it's in the bible.
