Satan hates all human beings :-
Gen 3:15 KJV And I will put enmity between thee [ie Satan] and the woman [ie Eve], and between thy seed[ie all unredeemed human beings] and her seed [ie human children]; it shall bruise [literally "crush"] thy head [ie Satan's] , and thou [ie Satan] shalt bruise his heel [ie Jesus Christ].
Rev 12:13 KJV And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
Luk 4:13 KJV And when the devil had ended all the temptation [ie of Christ], he departed from him [ie Christ] for a season.

Act 7:52 KJV Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers:
All Christians:-

(Including by Saul [who became the Apostle Paul] ):-
Act 9:4-5 KJV And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? [v. 5] And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.

No they don't.
