While believing that it was possible for Rand to destroy the world while cleansing Saidin, they followed him anyways. In large part because of the pattern he has considerable influence on anyone and everyone around him.
You are vastly underestimating the effect of the pattern on people and events when in close contact with a Ta'veren, especially one as strong as Rand. Rand Mat and Perrin have all had a great deal of success influencing people because of their link to the pattern.

I.E. A cooper across the continent from him will not suddenly feel moved to come make barrels for him.
You are vastly OVER estimating the effect of the pattern on those that are superfluous to its purpose.

He's not hated. He is feared because of the inevitable destruction salvation will bring.
