All the christians(at least american christians) believe that the world is going to end very soon.
Has anyone thought what will happen to people of other religions of the world (Hindus,Muslims,Sikhs,taoists,Buddhists,Jews..etc)
Most people of these religions also follow the rightous path.Teaching of their religions is almost the same as teaching of Christianity.only difference is that some religions say that dooms day is no where near.Others say that there is no dooms day.

What will happen to these innocent people or will they perish?Will Jesus Christ save the good of other religions too or only Christians will be saved?

Jesus is not a respector of persons.
People from all walks of life and denominations (or not) will be in heaven. The following verses tell us that if they have the law of God written on their hearts (and they may not know God), they will be saved.

Romans 2:11 For there is no respect of persons with God.
12. For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;
13. (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
14. For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
15. Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)
16. In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.

The only people that will be saved (I believe you're speaking of Judgement Day) will be people that have come to Christ and accepted Him as their personal saviour. Note, those people will also have to have lived or walked in the Word of God and followed the teachings of Christ. Anyone can say, "Sure I'll accept Jesus." and then head down to the bar to commit adultery or sin.

Many Christians will find out quickly that "being saved" and not following the Word of God isn't going to be good enough. Believing in Jesus is NOT enough. Keep in mind that even the Devil believes in Jesus.

As far as what you said about other religions and those people following a righteous path. Indeed from our vantage point those people are in most cases respectable and "good citizens" and "good neighbors" and "good friends". That unfortunately isn't good enough. While all religions have similarities and generally teach good things, with good morals, and have "love thy neighbor" such statements....it is the part of Jesus that they are missing. With regards specifically to the Hindu's and the Muslims, the Christian God is clear that we should not follow or worship false Gods. When God says false gods, he does not mean other gods. He means gods that either don't exist or aren't really gods in the sense that He is. Idolotry also falls into that category. There truly are people, even those that call themselves Christians, that worship idols.....Career, Money, Love, Sex, and even Television. Anything that takes precidence over God is Idol Worship.....or can be interpretted as such.

God told us that there is one path to Heaven, being through Christ and the Teachings of Christ. It is a narrow and sometimes difficult path to follow, but it is THE ONLY WAY.

Gee...I must be a Norwegian Christian because I don't think the world is going to end anytime soon...nor do I particularly care when or how it will end.

Nor am I worried about the Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Taoists, nor Wal-Mart Greeters.

When the end comes, God will make His decisions concerning those folks and I trust that most of them will get the upstairs apartment.

I have asked similar questions on here. If they never had the chance to hear the word then they will be spared. With TV and the Internet they must have all heard by now, I think they will all be screwed if they don't convert - at least that's what I was told. I tend to think we have a decent loving God, not an angry wrathful old man as so commonly depicted

the world that the Bible talks about ending is not the physical earth , it is the humans that do not recognize God's sovereignty.

2Peter2:; 5 and he did not hold back from punishing an ancient world, but kept Noah, a preacher of righteousness, safe with seven others when he brought a deluge upon a world of ungodly people; 6 and by reducing the cities Sod´om and Go·mor´rah to ashes he condemned them, setting a pattern for ungodly persons of things to come;

Actually the New Jerusalem has already been accomplished in all who know the interior and literal sense of the Word.

Christ coming in the clouds is seeing the internal sense shine through the literal.

People who don't want to see whats really happening will see god and doomsday in everything they like. But the greater human powers get, and if evil (of the human kind) gets these powers in its ugly hands, then doomsday becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, and no-one will be spared

I don't know what you mean by dooms day.
If you mean the end of the world, it is very far away.

If you mean, the Christians go away to heaven, it could be very close.

If you mean another big war, that is just around the corner.

If you mean, a cataclysm that will cause death and destruction, famine, and disease That could be very near.

In Revelation God/YHWH calls a 'false religions'....' Babylon the Great'; Revelation17:5.

The Bible says God/YHWH will put it in the heart of the wild beast (governments/United Nations) to destroy her.

Rev 17:15-18 ...and the ten horns...and the wild beast will hate the harlot and will make her devastated and naked, and will...completely burn her with fire..

That is why in Revelation 18:4,5, God invites all people who want to worship Him and be spared to 'GET OUT of her, MY PEOPLE, if you do not want to share with her in her sins'.
