Narrative:
Ten minutes prior to departure; I tried to get the clearance and could not understand the controllers' clearance. It was different than the filed route. Another company flight was blocking my read back thinking it was theirs. I was flying the leg and didn't understand the clearance. The box was loaded wrong for the departure. I was trying to tell the captain but he was focused on going to get his commuter flight home. He thought we were cleared to six when we were cleared to seven. So; we pushed without knowing the clearance and the box loaded incorrectly to be on time. I challenged the captain and we got into a fight; which contributed to an unsafe cockpit environment. He acted like he knew what it was all long; which he didn't. He was like we could just figure it out after takeoff. This led to checklists and procedures to be run in the red. I don't remember putting the flaps to one. I just read the checklist and didn't back up the captain to check what I was reading. We taxied out. He did his throttle burst and didn't get a takeoff configuration light or horn. We ran the before takeoff checklist as we argued all the way out to the runway. He threatened to take me to the chief pilot. He acted like he knew what the clearance was and belittled me that I had just a hard time getting the clearance. Then; he explained how we could navigate in the air. I wanted the box correct with a magenta line. We were both in the red for takeoff and never returned to the green. I took off and we never had the takeoff configuration go off or the horn. During climb out; I asked for flaps up and realized they were already up. I don't know if he pulled them up without me noticing since I was hand flying. I don't know if we took off with them up or down. I didn't say anything to him or ask him about it. We flew back to atl in pretty much silence. When we got to atl; he ran off the plane to make his commute. I tested the takeoff alert and got it in the gate.

Title: B737-700 FO reported the Captain was rushing the flight to make his commute home; making the FO very uncomfortable and leading to a possible zero flap takeoff.
