We're non-denominational here. Anybody with silly, irrational views gets picked on. Logic is faith blind.

Jehovah's Witnesses (they are Christians).
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.

I'd say Mormons. i am one and I've answered ridiculous amounts of ridiculous questions about the church and we even have our specialists in Mormon bashing, the most reluctant ones are: Mr Peepers, Al Shakana (or however its spelled), Cheese and Rice (he even got cloned), a girl with purple hair whose name I don't remember but she blames the church for her personal problems, Tan Man, Mezzo girl, and some others and there are always new one and more new ones. According to them we wear magical underwear, we are a cult, we are not Christians, we are weird people, we are racist, we do weird things at the Temple, we are lost, they are saved, our pioneers were evil and more things... the good thing about this is that in my short time in the church I've found out that any of those awful things are true and I'd stand up a thousand times to defend what I know it's true.
I've also seen nasty things about JWs, Atheists and Muslims ... religion bashing is not alright and sadly, many people use the R&S category to put others down and that's not fair.

Christians, but that's OK Jesus said we should expect it.
Why? Because darkness hates light.

a little bit of everyone, i think atheists & christians are the most active on the site, so they probably bash each other equally.

Edit:
Christians mentality is to convert the heathens
