And "I hate Christianity and the dumb things it promotes among its adherents" is not the same as "I hate Christians."
So often visitors to /r/atheism do not understand that most people there accept that generally speaking, religious people are OK, but that it's the ideologies that adherents believe in that are problematic.

The problem is, there's always a grey area. Is "All the <group> need to die" ok? It's not a call to action per se, but it can be seen as threatening. What about "If a <group member> was trapped in a burning building, it would make me happy"? Again, not a specific threat, but I wouldn't want anyone saying things like that about me or my friends/family.

This is the line in Canada on hate speech. Hate speech calls for the killing of a group of people.

That would be the fourth rule, about inciting violence.
Bullying is different.

Inciting violence is illegal, and that's already forbidden. Find a better example.
