I'm confused as well, but here's my best guess.

Furuta is Tsuneyoshi's illegitimate son, and was basically stuck in the Garden as a mere pawn. Instead, his dad doted on Big Brother Yoshitoki, the legitimate son....and Arima, the "God of Death. So Furuta has been pissed off his whole life about being neglected and denied his "rightful" place.

So I think it was a little bit of both. He hated Tsuneyoshi, but also he wants to take everything that he feels was entitled to him. (Marude had mentioned rumors about the "Branch Families" trying to take over and knock Matsuri out of the succession. Well! Furuta is identified as one of those folks.)
