CONSERVATIVE protestants see Catholics as more liberal than they are, but liberal protestants see Catholics as more conservative than they are. Part of hatred is you always criticize the other for not sharing your values, whatever they are. I would also suggest that one circle is more critically aware of the faults of the closest circles, and that Conservative Protestants characterize Catholics by the liberal Catholics. Indeed, if conservatives were on the outside portions of the bullseye, that would suggest several false things:
(1) that conservatives were more inclined to hatred than liberals,
(2) that liberals were more hated that conservatives,
(3) that the discontent between groups is caused by political alignment, which is the opposite of what I meant by including the concept of hate.
Also, I in no way intended to say that he hate was focused solely on the one circle immediately within one’s own. Any increased tension among adjacent circles, I would argue, is simply a result of greater exposure and legitimate (not hate-based) disagreements.
The “hate” flows in both directions. The thing is, the outer circles criticize the inner ones from the “right” while the inner ones criticize the outer ones from the “left.” Eg, Judaism doesn’t believe man is in need of “redemption” (in the chrstian sense), Eastern Orthodoxy doesn’t believe in original sin, Catholicism doesn’t believe in total depravity, etc.
