In order to call yourself atheist, there would have to be a lack of believe in God, Satan, heaven and hell. Therefore your question doesn't make sense, because the asking of it denotes a belief in hell to begin with and that there is a god to make that judgement, which would not make you an atheist.
Btw..there is absolutely nothing wrong with your stances on any of those topics you listed. There is nothing wrong with not being a bigot, terminating the pregnancies of victims of incest or rape or young teens who made a mistake, wanting to keep the church from taking over legislation, not wanting to be involved in a war against a country that had nothing to do with 9/11 and believing that our destruction of the earth will catch up with us some day, and probably sooner than we think.

If you don't believe in God how can you believe in Hell? If there is no God for you there would be no heaven or hell. I believe in the same things you do except for pro-choice. I don't think any of these things will send you to Hell. Everybody was born with the inateright to have there own beliefs and opinions...whether it was given by God (which I personally believe) or not! I think your safe!

y would global warming send u to hell? or anti-iraq war?
and if ur atheist then why do you care?
but i dont think that God would have a problem with gay marrige, it say nowhere in the bible that gay marrige is a no-no, just gay sex.
but pro-choice...thats a different story.
i think the only think u should worry about is the whole rejecting God thing.

As much as many would like to give you a direct answer, like Yes or No, I am going to have to defer.
Only God (you know, the one you don't believe in) has the power to send someone to hell or to heaven. Anyone that says otherwise is wrong and presumes to know God.

It doesn't matter if you have turned your back on God. He believes in you. If you have turned your back on him, you just get to come right back into another incarnation to learn all over again.
God is not human. I wish the zealots would quit giving him human qualities like jealousy and such.
No, I'm not religious. I just believe in God. And many of the things you listed in certain circumstances.
But how can you believe in hell and not God? That's just weird...LOL

The not believing in God part will put you in Hell *because* of the sins you have commited in your lifetime. You need to repent of your sins and be baptised in the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit in order to be saved.

I am the same as you except for the pro choice thing. I think abortion is murder. But, if all that sends you to hell, I guess I will meet you there! :)

If there were a hell, it would be fun. All the cool people would be there.
I'd be there for being an atheist, and also for making out during Schindler's List.

If God really does love all of his children, why would he send u to hell. If you lead a good life, helping others, being selfless, than you will go to heaven.
