its not that we are judging them. If they accept Christ then they all go to Heaven, if not they condemn themselves

Here is my answer...."Judge not lest ye be judged." Matthew 7:1.
Only God can judge who goes to heaven and who goes to hell, and it is up to each person (theologically speaking) to accept the free gift of salvation.
As a Christian, I personally believe that it is unreasonable for a person never introduced to Christ to accept him as their savior. As such, I believe that not all of us (humans) are judged in the same way. God himself suggest this, in a different context, when he said "To those who much has been given, much will be expected." I try not to eternally judge anyone but myself. I think other Christians would be well advised to do the same.
There is a great deal of information in the bible. Ideally, through prayer and study, mankind can come to understand it more; however, there is only one message that I think Chirst really tried to expound upon: Love your neighbor and love God. Those who act as judge by condeming others to hell are not obeying this one critical these of Christ's message.
I'm sorry if you feel I was dodging your quesiton, but I think that the question may have been a bit loaded. This question reminds me of the student asking Confusious if a hidden bird was alive or dead. God bless you...and good luck.

Jews-I don't know.
Muslims-I don't know
Scientologists-I don't know
Atheists-I don't know
Agnostics-I don't know
Buddhists-I don't know
Hindus-I don't know
Everyone else-I don't know
It isn't that I don't know what the Bible says (I do)...the problem is, who am I to judge any of these people? Only God knows their hearts, and whether or not it's their fault that they were/are any of those mentioned.
It's not my place to judge any of them, or to say whether they're going to heaven or hell.
I would like to think that God has mercy on certain people, especially if they were raised a certain way, weren't really exposed to the Bible, and/or sought for answers and never found them.
I don't think I'll know until I die. I would say that the same goes for everyone. We just don't know how God judges people.

Here they are:
Jews--heaven
Muslims--heaven
Scientoligists--heaven
Atheists--heaven
Agnostics--heaven
Buddhists--heaven
Hindus--heaven
I personally believe that everyone goes to heaven for several reasons. God is an all-loving God, and although we want justice, that is not his stance. Most of these people have searched for something, whether they find it in the form of Jesus or Bhudda is irrelevent. Also, I think everyone will see who God truly is after they die. And I think we are all worshipping the same God.
My opinions, and I know I will get negative responses for this considering the title of your question says, :Christians only and good Christians dont agree with what I just said, but that is okay. I can deal with the rejection of my own people, even if they dont think I am one of them.

Romans 14:13
Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.
1 Corinthians 6:5
I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren?
James 4:11
Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge
Matthew 13:29
But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.

Only God can judge who is saved and who isn't saved.
Furthermore, I would never say ALL muslims are going to hell or ALL Atheists are going to burn.
You can put whatever label you want on yourself, the question is who has accepted God's gift of Salvation.
And, if you are going to diss other religions SPELLCHECK THEM!!
I'm a christian, by the way, and I am going to Heaven.

I am a Christian, but I would not even begin to judge anyone on the list. That is for God to decide - not by group - but by each individual and their own heart toward Him and His Son.

Only through faith in Jesus Christ can any man be saved. Being Jew, Christian, Muslim Atheist none of these religions count for anything .. Only through Jesus does salvation come. There is no other name under Heaven that men must be saved... Jim

Judging is up to God. All I know is that Jesus said 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father but by me". I leave it at that, and let Him judge.

All will be in heaven IF they receive Jesus as Lord and believe He died and shed His blood for their sins.
Add to your list:
JW's
Mormons
Catholics
Remember not everyone will go to heaven. God gives us the choice. Receive Jesus and go to heaven. Do nothing or reject Him and you have chosen Hell. God sets the rules
