Nero
There were no emperors persecuting the Christians in 64 AD. This is a misconception. 64 was the year of the Great Fire of Rome and the emperor Nero was in power. Nero did not persecute the Christians for their religion. Nero punished the Christians for the crime of arson. After the outrage died down, the Christians were free to worship as they saw fit.
There were ten Roman emperors who persecuted the Christians. You can take your pick of Nero, Domitian, Trajan, Hadrian, Marcus Aureius, Septimus Severus, Maximus the Thracian, Decius, Valerian, and Diocletian.
It is generally agreed that there was no organised, general, centrally directed persecution of Christians in the Roman Empire before the edict of Emperor Decius in 249. This remained in effect until 251 CE. The "great persecution" of Christians was initiated by Emperor Diocletian in 303 CE. It lasted until 305 in the West, but continued until 311 in the East.
Nero prosecuted the Christians after the Grreat Fire of Rome in 64 AD.
Nero
Nero was not a Roman god, he was an insane Roman emperor.
Nero was said to have persecuted the Christians as a scapegoat because there were accusations that he started the Great Fire of Rome in 64. Some modern historians doubt this. It this was the case, the Christians would not have been friends with Nero.

The Roman Government began persecuting Christians under Emperor Nero. Nero began to execute large numbers of Christians following the Great Fire of Rome. According to the Roman historian Tacitus, the population searched for a scapegoat and rumors held Nero responsible. To deflect blame, Nero targeted Christians.

Emperor Nero, he blamed the Christians for starting the fire
A:1 Peter chapter 1 does not mention Emperor Nero. Having said that, Nero did blame the Christians of Rome for the Great Fire, probably unfairly, and expelled them from the city.
