Good Soul, regardless of what you believe, God in his infinite wisdom and compassion believes in you. Just like the prodigal son returning home, God will welcome you when you decide to return to Her. I can tell you this, that there is no such thing as hell, save for the pain and suffering you cause yourself. As a being, you were indeed created by God. God gave you free will, and will thus not interfere with it, even if your choice is not His Will. Be assured, that since you are a child of God, that you can not wrong Her. How could you? God is Love, and where there is true love, there cannot be hate. If God is Love and He created you, how then can you go to hell, a place constructed from man's fears? It is impossible. You are blessed, so go out and give that blessing to everyone and forget about hell, it doesn't exist save in your mind.

Well, just because you do not believe in something does not make it false.
When a parent is so mad at you and has "tough love" and kicks you out the house - you are far from that parent. Does that mean that the parent does not love you? Does that mean that the parent no longer exists? And honestly, you would probably suffer a lot. So by thinking on this comparison - you can relate to what Hell might be like.

It doesn't matter if you believe in God, hell, etc. It is still real. If you didn't believe you were in a car accident which caused your arm to be amputated, it wouldn't matter what you believed; you still wouldn't have an arm! In Revelation 21:8 the Bible says, "But the cowardly, UNBELIEVING, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death." And again, Rev. 20:15 says, "And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire."
If you would like to know how to get into the Book of Life, I recommend reading the Bible, particualarly John and Revelation.
It is totally up to you whether to believe this or not--I am not trying to push anything on you--but, whether you believe or not, it is still truth!

By asking this question you make the subtle assumption that Hell and God are real. To answer this question I will first assume that Hell and God are indeed real, and secondly, assume that they are not. Also I will like you to know that I am not trying to persuade you in any way. I am simply trying my best to answer your question.
Lets suppose that Hell and God does exist. Lets also say that if you don't believe in Him your soul will go to Hell. Giving that this is true (of which we have no concrete way of finding out) then it will be ludicrous to not believe in God. Its similiar to knowing that fire is hot, but sticking your finger in the flame anyway because you beg to differ. In other words, if you do believe in God, then it is certainly unwise to not believe in him. For why would someone believe a lie when they know that the lie is indeed the turth?
Now, lets suppose that Hell and God do not exist. Well, if this is the case then there is no fear of you going to Hell. If you do not love God, nor care if he loves you or not, is of no consequence if you don't believe in God in the first place. No one can say without a shadow of doubt that Hell and God are real. It will take the resurrection of the dead to tell us that. Or God himself.
There are many deities across world: many of which I have not heard of. I do not believe in any of them; so, does this mark me as being a sinner? No. Why? Because each of us has the power and right to believe what we decide is reasonable.
The Christian says you are going to Hell for not recognizing God. But only the Christian can say this because it is the Christian who truly believes in this.

Some religious people are hedging their bet just in case he does. There is a problem if Christ does exist & those individuals I speak of are going to fare even worst than the one that don't according to the Bible. Now it could be the reason for this is so none believers will fess up so that the religious people can attempt to convert the individual.
My take on it is Heaven & hell could be the same place if one looks at it on what have you trained your soul to appreciate.

Because you don't. You just die, your body slowly decomposes and you give your life so that more life will flourish - from the maggots eating your eyes to the daisies popping up in front of your tombstone, the real reincarnation is going back from this complex being into just another part to help fuel the future.
Religion is to comfort you when you die, not frighten you. Hell does not exist if you do not want it to. It is not a fact as some of your answerers are claiming, but a theological theory. And theories are blown out of the water all the time, especially with nothing to back them up but a book written by men, telling the deeds of men, in the language of men.

Just because someone doesn't believe in something ,doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I could say that I don't believe in air. I can't see it, touch it, taste it, but yet without it I wouldn't be alive. Even though I can't verify it's existance, I still know its there. In the same way even though you don't believe in God that ;doesn't mean he is not there. How sad will it be on that day when you face God and are condemned to eternal seperation from him, because you rejected him, he will reject you. I would rather live my life with the hope and assurance of a loving God ,Who sent his Only Son to die for me, than to live my life with no hope at all. What a meaningless existance that would be. I hope and pray you will seek the truth.

Heaven is Heaven and Hell is Hell, you may run but cannot escape what they are becuase they are real places. You may not choose to believe, but you will still suffer the consequences for what you have done. You cannont escape the first death and the answer to the second is God. Everyone faces a judgment day, are you ready?
Thanks

Every knee will bend and their is no one who will not know that Jesus is the truth the way and the life. You will be given the chance to except the lord here on earth on in the spirit world. After you have received that chance and not taken it then you will have to pay for your own sins in hell. You are also in danger of being cast off into outer darkness for ever, but your works on earth will help decide where you go in the kingdoms of heaven.

So you're asking for directions to hell? Just keep on like you have been. You'll find it eventually - far too soon.
But I cant help but feel sorry for you passing up life for a hell you say you don't believe in. When you are there it's game over - no replays or do overs.
