Sinners define the ‘common good’ as wallowing in their sinfulness. This leads them to hating Christians, since we are opposed to ‘the common good’ - which is the desire of the hearts of sinful rebels.

“18 “If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. 19 If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. 20Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours. 21But all these things they will do to you on account of my name, because they do not know him who sent me.” - John 15

Christians are not opposed to the common good. They are opposed to sin. When you can distinguish between the two, let me know.
