Emperor Nero blamed the great fire in Rome on the Christians and made Christianity illegal. So Christians were originally hated because the Romans believed their own lies. That continued with lie after lie. We have apologetics which are answers to those lies. The last one was by Origen, "Against Celsum." That destroyed the last of the intellectual opposition to Christianity. and because christians where a diffrent religian to Romans and tryed to spread the word of Jesus Romans tried to stop that and hated Jesus because they thought he minght take over the empire as he clamed to be the moiser
