Ask him why he thinks you hate him. When he gives you a reason, respond by giving him a reason(s) as to why you don't.

I guess that there might be misunderstanding between your father and you. He may misinterpret your words or actions sometimes. Have you ever talked to him about how you feel about your relationship with him?

I would ask him why he feels this way and I would try to show him that I really love and care about him.

We have to remember that we have no control over another person's thoughts or actions, we can only control our own. So identify ways you can show him how you feel and do them...but also keep in mind that you can't control his reactions!

Try to spend more time with him, talk to him more in small topics then more bigger and bigger ones.

If your father has that feeling even after you've told him you don't hate him, you have done your part. You can demonstrate through your actions that you don't hate him. Show him love. Call him just to say hello or ask how he's doing. Stop by to see him just because you had the time. If you are telling him and showing him that you don't hate him, you are doing everything you can to remedy the situation.

First understand why he believes you hate him, then reassure him that you don’t! Reassurance can make a big difference!

That has nothing to do with you but more to do with the state of his mind. Maybe he is unable to see what's before him.

Do your best to show him, actively, that you care about him. Talk to him, offer to get the door, remember what he say and bring it up later. Show him with actions, because they will always speak louder than words.

Actions speak louder than words. Sometimes you have to prove to him you don’t. Just think about what you are doing before you do it.
