What if the jews, Muslims or hindus are right? You're going to hell
So, you have more to lose than Atheists because you probably didn't look into other beliefs like most Atheists have

Ah, Pascal's Wager.
Depending on which Jew, Muslim, or Hindu you ask you might be told that entry into Heaven is granted to all decent people. Also, you willl find many among the ranks of believers who do not believe in Hell.
A wise person once said (I'm paraphrasing here)
"I believe in Hell because God said so
I believe it is empty because God is all-merciful"

Oh! Good question!
1) In the Christian belief, it is not how many religions you look into that matter - many of us used to be atheist or pagan or into wicka and so have a pretty broad scope of experience.
2) In many other religions there is a 'good work' component - as long as you love others and work to make the world better, you are likely to be on the path of enlightenment and therefore are not hindered by the belief in one god over another.
3) For many of us it has not been a choice made at the toss of a coin, or because our parents dragged us to Sunday School (that turns off more people then believed) - so we have made a choice based on our life experiences and our own life truths --- isn't that what most atheists claim as essential?
4) Did this question turn into a quasi dating thing? *scurries off*
Remember - God loves atheists :D

Here is the biggest mistake that all people make, religion! The meaning of religion is what a person may practice on a daily basis. Like one may religiously drink coffee. Well,having a relationship with God is a way of life. God wants more than anything to show us his great love. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son. That whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.( Holy Bible John 3:16)

Just because atheists don't have a religion doesn't mean that they are right in not believing. Atheists have the same chance of going to hell as any other. Aren't atheists human too? So what exempts them from that risk?

Maybe so many people shouldn't listen to you Charlie! You're mis-informed, obviously. I'm a jew, and I believe in the ONLY triune God.. Father Son and Holy Spirit. True Christianity is NOT a religion.. it is a relationship! Muslims believe in "Allah" and read the Koran. Allah is a mythical god. Buddahism and ALL the other "ism's" are what is considered to be cult-religions.
What else would you like to know?

Okay, if you're going to do a cost/benefit analysis, what is the benefit of being an atheist? If Believers are wrong, they have a certain percent chance of losing. If Atheists are wrong, they have a 100% chance of losing EVERYTHING.

That's not always true. You would have to understand their religion and how they get salvation as well. Might I remind you that even if you did believe in any of the religions mentioned there really is no proof positive way to get to heaven. It's only a best guess and a I hope.

I do not truly believe that there is a wrong religion--only different ways to worship. Atheists are going to hell because they do not worship any God and will surely die
