Unhappiness and Hatred
I thought the world wasn’t suppose to be full of hatred. It was made for life, love, and learning. Why would God create the world just to see everyone kill each other? Why would Jesus sacrifice himself just for people to go to hell? This makes no sense to me.

Your confusion is caused by false premises. You are basing your entire essay on the assumption that this world and the life on it was created by a god for a certain purpose, and that is false. Consider instead, reality: The universe, and all in it, was created by a series of events which, due to the vastness of the universe and the number of opportunities for assorted chemical mixes, resulted in life here, which evolved into what we are today. There was no plan behind it. (That doesn’t make our lives meaningless, however.) People are probably always going to be fighting and killing and stealing and committing other crimes against other people, and that is unfortunate, but things are slowly improving.
Or consider that the world originated as a single consciousness that created the universe of itself, an illusion that we’re all separate, because it was the only way that it could evolve. All the unhappiness and hatred in the world is not part of a planned progression, but an inevitable turning point in the slow crawl of evolution, wherein ancient survival instincts conflict with modern emotional sensibilities.
Well I believe that there is no god. Humans, like animals, fight for power or for things they want. Hatred comes from someone challenging us or owning something we want. We are no better than other animals.
