If Christianity is true then it doesn't matter if a non-christian is an atheist, muslim, hindu, buddhist, secular humanist, new age spiritualist, pantheist, mormon, or anything else because they would all be equally false and the follower of any such religion would be damned to hell.

No, I don't fear that. Atheists would only not believe in a God, or gods, but they have attitudes, policies and beliefs. As atheism is not a tight religion, if I may call it 'religion,' they could happily adopt whatever philosophy that suits them. I have been there myself.
They may not believe in Jesus, but they could adopt his message. They could 'show the other cheek,' or be gracious to their enemies. They could believe in universal brotherhood and love for all.
I believe that God wouldn't care much if someone is an atheist, as long as that person is good. After all, He is everybody's parent, even the atheist's!

Buddhism is ok (except for the reincarnation and Kharma stuff). Hinduism is just as whacked out as Christianity or Islam.
I would prefer to simply see the ranks of atheists grow rather than see them flipping coins to pick an ancient superstition of some kind.

I believe that some Atheists already do have those philosophies, since buddhism teaches people to find enlightenment in themselves not in false manmade gods. I don't mean to be rude in any way but that is how I feel about that.

Why would you fear that? Buddhists and Hindus aren't running around, fighting wars are they? I am atheist, but of all the religions in the world, buddhists and hindus bother me not in the slightest bit. Christians, muslims and jews all claim to be about peace and love, yet all three are warring and have been for ages, but not buddhists and hindus, maybe they are right....oh wow, what a thought.

Not at all, on the contrary. Buddhism and Hinduism doesn't impose on the others like Monotheistic religions do.

Actually the answer is a big YES!!!
An atheist is one who questions the existence of the divinity and tries to think objectively. I think Hinduism and its offshoot Buddhism actually encourages one to question the existence of God in order to find him.

Why you think so, one God will prevail till the end of the world. When there is no one to accept one God, then that’s the end of this world. On the contrary Hinduism
Is myth based, they believe all gods born in India, any thing big is God. One of there believe that Moon eat Sun on eclipse. When Hinduism evolve that time innocent/ignorant Indians believe that, but how come in days they believe all these. Till British change the rule, the put widow in burning fire with husband dead body. Endless peculiar believe they have. The call a river “Ganga” their God. But they put dam on God for their selfish desire giving neighbors’ draught in summer and flood in rainy season by there God. By this they are controlling God.

Uhh...wait...Buddhism is bad? I'm afraid I didn't get that memo, sorry.
Good grief, man, they're just different religions. Who cares?
