If one doesn't believe in God, would they care about hell?
Believing in a religion is your own choice, even if you don't, it's better to believe that there is a certain supreme power behind the universe. If you don't wanna believe in God at all, it's your decision really! :)

Hell seems to be a place without God. If you don't want to be with God now, in this life, then you won't be bothered by Him in the next life. You will be in a place without God, in Hell.
Seems like a lot of people don't like God but are willing to say that they "believe in Him" just to avoid hell. Just remember that the devil believes in God, but he is not going to heaven. God is asking that you become a part of His kingdom now, on earth, then you will be with Him in eternity.

No. If you come to understand the God you don't now believe in, you will know that he is made of mercy and love beyond anything you will find in this life! He sees your struggles to find answers, and guides and loves you, whether you believe in him or not.
I don't believe in an angry God that just sends people "to hell" whatever that is, just on a whim. That is the God of the Old Testament, before Christ came to teach us differently. He taught us that God is love and forgiveness. The God I believe in, will always be there for you, even if you don't know it.

If you don't believe in God, why worry? No God = no hell.
However, I think that you DO believe in God (at least a little), because you are asking the question. If there is a God, and you don't belong to Him, then hell is a very real concern.
God does love you, and has provided you a way to avoid hell. This is through His Son, Jesus Christ. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (John 14:6)
To receive this precious gift, all that you need to do is confess to God that you are a sinner. (This means that you realize that you have broken God's laws known as the Ten Commandments, and that you cannot save yourself.) You then decide not to follow the ways of the world, and turn to Jesus. This is called repentance. Once you have done this, all that you need to do is to trust that Jesus paid your fine for breaking the laws, and then decide to follow Him instead.
A wise man named Solomon, who was a king of Israel centuries ago, said this about our hearts: "...He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end." (Ecclesiastes 3:11) Deep down inside, we all know that God exists, and that we need Him. Trouble is, we suppress that truth so we can follow our own selfish desires.

I personally believe but have family members who don't & I really hope we are all going to end up in the same place. I'm aliitle weird in my beliefs, I think people we all know now that are alive & have such pain & misery are living in hell now. I wouldn't worry but it wouldn't hurt to say a prayer just in case right?

I believe Christ died for our short comings so I don't think any of us are going to hell but I believe you will have a richer and fuller life if you have a relationship with your own personal God. Which I think you already have and just don't realize it fully. I suppose none of us do till we die. peace

You make no sense. If you don't believe in God, how could you believe in hell, or in "His judgment"?
