Hate has become redefined as someone who disagrees with a liberal.
No one I know uses that word unless it is to hate sin and evil in contrast to loving good and truth.
Gay rights activists use it to stereotype Christians that disagree with their lifestyle. Most Christians will use it in the form of hating sin and loving sinners.

To be honest, the only time I would ever use that term is when saying something like "I hate close-minded fundie bigots." I don't hate any particular religion, just the actions some followers of some religions sometimes take because of beliefs they claim to have. You can't judge all of a group by the actions or beliefs of a few of their members.

I don't use the word in describing or discussing or criticizing another religion.

Never. This doesn't mean I don't get angry, or that I have achieved some supreme level of analysis without judgment. I simply haven't encountered a faith which demands ire.

I only use the word "hate" when I'm referring to something someone else is obviously engaged in. I don't hate anything nor anyone myself.

There is nothing wrong when hating sin or evil...which is what false doctrine is...as long as that hate does not spill out onto the sinner

I don't. I think hatred is pointless and self-defeating.. It does nothing to the person or thing that you "hate", but just builds all sorts of negativity in your own life as you seethe about how much you "hate" it.

I don't.
You can check my past posts, but I don't think I've used that word when criticizing religious. I've just called them all superstitions, which they are.

Only when I'm discussing evangelical Christians and then usually only American ones. I hate their perverse ideology and frankly I hate them as well. To the inevitable thumbs downers in advance, I hate you too.
Edit- Am I the only one who is being brutally honest here- all these nice people don't hate anyone's beliefs? Bullsh!t.
