dude, you're reaching. no one hates him because of his faith. in fact, that's why many people liked him. he's like that pastor who crossed out the gratuity at applebee's and got the waitress fired. he's just not a very good representative of christianity.
being a good player doesn't give someone license to do or say whatever he wants. hamilton was many people's most beloved ranger for various reasons, but he exposed himself as a narcissistic weirdo, telling the media how he couldn't wait to test free agency, claiming he didn't owe the rangers anything (true or not, have some ****ing tact), and mailing it in at the end.
you're defending a manchild who can't take responsibility for his own actions.
