Hating something from the rulings of Islam or disliking the religion is considered disbelief (kufr) if its cause is hatred of Islam, or of Allah, or of the Messenger (peace be upon him), or hating it as a religion and a law. In this case, the person commits major disbelief (kufr akbar), based on the Almighty's saying: "That is because they disliked what Allah revealed, so He rendered their deeds worthless." However, hating something from the religion due to the action of a specific person, and not because of the ruling itself, is not considered disbelief.
