I live with my mom and my dad and our pets. I'm very very close to my mom and she's my best friend but my dad and I aren't very close and never have been since I was really really really little...
Who I am: I'm 24, I am a good kid, don't get in trouble, don't drink, do drugs, don't smoke. I'm in college and about to graduate in 9 months. I guess my worst faults are that I'm lazy and don't have a job, although I don't think a person's opinion of someone should ever be based on their job.
Anyway my dad has ALWAYS been rude, passive aggressive, mean, resentful, hateful and mad towards me... even when I've done nothing wrong. A lot of times he'll go out of his way just to pick on me or make me look/feel stupid. I just want to know why. He treats me as if (and this is impossible) I was a step-kid or some bastard child my mom had with another man that he "has" to live with. He acts like he is an older brother and I took over. He is jealous of my time with my own mother.

He feels like any time I spend with her is intruding on his time... as if I am just a nuissance that he has to tolerate. He doesn't see me as a son.
When I was very little I was close to both my parents. He then owned his own shop and it consumed him and he even resorted to drugs for a little while. Afterwards I got closer to my mom and he claims she "stole" me away from him... I say he gave up on me.
He mot certainly has depression/bipolar disorder although doesn't admit it.
Needless to say this whole thing with my dad has effed me up royally, mentally. I have very bad clinical depression and I'm almost certain this is why among other reasons.
Anyway I just want to know why he constantly acts so hostile towards me... any guesses?

I wouldn't say that I am the only one he is like this to either. He can be very rude to my mother. Some days, although rare, he is like a completely different person. Nice, giving, seriously like someone switches places with him on some days.
Oh another thing, we have a little female chihuahua who he treats better than me his own son.

Forget trying to know why. It's not going to happen. Concentrate on not becoming like him when you get older.

Not all Christians or even Christians in general hate atheists. Not all atheists are even atheists in general hate Christians or Muslims. It's a small, but very vocal minority on both sides that keeps things stirred up. I have several wonderful Christian friends who are fascinating people to talk to, and I have several Muslim and atheist and pagan friends who are fascinating to talk to. The thing they have in common is that they are good conversationalists, religion notwithstanding. What could explain the Christ-like behavior? Using the Bible or Holy Book in question as a magic 8-ball to justify a pre-existing hatred.

because thats what he knows and was raised like and thinks its acceptable, you are old enough to respectfully, if you dont live in his home address, you dont want to make your living situation more uncomfortable

Maybe he's not your real father. You should talk to him or ask your mother.
