Hi,

No, not really. I think 'hate' is more commonly heard today, so 'hatred' sounds a little more formal, possibly more 'abstract', more divorced from the real world. We speak of 'hate crimes', whereas it sounds odd to speak of 'hatred crimes'.

It's usually 'hatred of'--  (3,750,000 Google hits). 'Hate', as a noun, stands alone more easily.
