hold very critical views of their own religion and harbor some animosity towards the more traditional parts of the church. There is also a significant number of LDS students at USU who were not accepted into BYU and hold bad feelings towards the school but the majority of these students don’t hate BYU.
So yeah, the real vitriol and hate that we see primarily comes from the anti-religious anti-LDS faction. The other people are typical fans who don’t take it so personal.
