Keep it to personal experiences.

I don't personally feel despised. This is a general question for people who do actually despise christians. I know that many do not, but I want to know about why some do. It's a self reflection sort of thing for me.

Well, I can't despise them. But some are irritatingly narrow minded. You just have to roll your eyes and say, "Oh, well!"

Despise is a pretty strong word but the reason I have a problem with christians as a group is because they can not keep their religion to themselves. They try to force others to believe the same as them. They try to impose there beliefs of the rest of the world by manipulating and controlling the government.
I understand that not all christians try and do these things but I have never seen any christian stand up and make the fundamentalists stop.

I don't despise Christians, and I wish people would stop saying that all atheists hate Christians. I'm marrying one! What I don't like is how some followers twist the words of Jesus to fit what they need. I am against all religions of all kinds - they serve no purpose but to keep the people enslaved to the church and keep them from thinking for themselves. But that doesn't mean I despise the practitioners...
How does dislike of religion translate to dislike of it's followers?

What is this despise you speak of?
Do you feel wronged?
Maybe its your path, and not the "others."
If you are following God, you won't feel such negative feelings. You won't experience negative experiences.
If your following Jesus, our teacher, you will not experience deprivisions, because you will be "out from among THEM."
Jesus taught crowds of people that followed him, away from the large crowds against him. He performed miracles in nature, not within churches, he didn't carry a book of faith. He walked where he went even though he was offered chariots, he turned them down.
Jesus was never deprived. He didn't follow religions, he was not deprived was he?

I hope that you don't think that atheists, or people of other religions despise Christians. That would not only be wrong, but bizarrely paranoid.

I don't despise Christians. I despise their religion. Personal experiences? I hate the way my brother-in-law and his wife are brainwashing their daughters to believe that the Earth is 6,000 years old and that man and dinosaur roamed the planet together. This kind of misinformation will do nothing to further the progression of scientific discovery, and is tantamount to child abuse.
