33% of the world is Christian. 67 % of the world is all the other religions and atheism/agnostic.
So of that 33%, how many are considered "saved". An exagerated estimate of 10% are the fundamentalists. It may be less.
So that leaves 90% of every human alive right now how will go to hell according to the fundies.
How many Christians agree with this? How many Christians feel that God does not care which road that you take to Him, or if you take no road.

Many will say "he does care". Then again, if he cared ENOUGH to simply not allow us to go to Hell, he simply would NOT ALLOW US TO GO TO HELL, free will be damned.

It is winter. The time for my tribe's solstice. Crazy Horse has written some very beautiful words. Words that will be put into dance tomorrow night when my people honor the Creator. I do not go to Church. I am a Christian. How many more like me are there? I am not a statistic.
"...The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit whithin him"?(1Corinthinians10-11).
God loves you so much. You say condemned and hell like it does not hurt him. He groans at the right hand of the Father. He cannot even utter the words in His humanity the love he has for us. The suffering that he experienced on the Cross for three hours was for all of us. He bore all our sins in his own body. He was separated from the Holy Spirit and was being judged by the Father. He paid the price. All anyone has to do is accept the gift. The gift of grace, love, eternal life, happiness. Please do not say "go to hell" like it is nothing. If he had HIS choice, it would not happen. I as a parent will not decide for my children. I want the best for them and do not want them to hurt. I would protect them and choose for them if I could. I cannot. Your words hurt. I cry for you. He cries for you. I am so sorry that you do not know the great love that the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit have for you. Through GRACE are you saved through faith, it is a gift of GOD not of works lest any man should boast. When my daughters take the angelica root and toss it on the fire tomorrow night I will ask them to think of you. The fire carries our prayers to the Creator. God loves you and "soda I". Peace out.

God cares about everything, what you think and what I write. This hard-liner thing is a little out of hand. Hell is only for those who need it in order for them to part with their love of sin. They may be subject to their own hell for quite sometime, but that is not my concern, as divine love knows exactly what and how to correct human beliefs. The notion that 90% of the race will go to hell is absolutely absurd. The work we don't get done here and now will go with us to the hereafter to be completed. Heaven doesn't show up just because we believed that we died.

I think there are a lot less people who really believe in Christ than 10 percent.
Jesus says the road to destruction is broad, but the narrow way is the way that leads to life. This narrow way is Jesus - the way of the cross. This way is open to all, but who will chose to go the narrow way? Men rebel against God and refuse the Christ that God has sent. There remains no other savior, only certain death and destruction awaits. Hell. But God gave his only begotten Son because of his great love. Men choose rather to say "I will choose my own way to god." They will reject the gift of God of eternal life, so they will receive their wages due to them, death. This death is eternal death apart from God the source of life. It is eternal punishment. The tragedy is that Christ already suffered for their sins and they could have had Heaven. They will abhor themselves for throwing away God's greatest gift so they could keep the rubbish that they believed was valuable. They will tormented forever without end. Thirst will grow and never end. If only they had trusted Christ and tasted that water of life that he offered that deeply quenches the thirst and hunger of the soul, but they rejected the drink in this life and will never have the opportunity for it after death against. Let the just be just and the unjust be unjust still. So will it be. Repent and turn to Jesus while there is still breath in your body.

There is no direct statement to that effect.
Jesus died to saved EVERYONE according to the Bible.
Those you chose to follow in Jesus footsteps simply take on a major responsiblity to God and Jesus and get some perks and potential benefits. Others do not.
At the end of times everyone will be called before God if your name is in the Book of Life you get to stay there with God, otherwise you don't.
The biggest reason for not staying is having the Mark of the Beast which comes from aligning yourself with the wrong prophet and following the wrong path.
The rest is up to you. You've been fully brief here in writing. Never tell God you didn't know. You knew, you chose, you did.
God will probably have more respect for you if you fess up to what you are in life.

I agree.
Matthew 7
13Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

I think that the number of Christians who don't feel the same way you do would be a reflection of the number of Christians who are saved.

I do Not agree with YOU!!!
But YOU Need to Agree With This!!!
Each morning upon rising, and each evening before sleeping, gives thanks for the life within you and for all life, for the good things the Creator has given you and for the opportunity to grow a little more each day. Consider your thoughts and actions of the past day and seek for the courage and strength to be a better person. Seek for the things that will benefit others (everyone).
2. Respect. Respect means "To feel or show honor or esteem for someone or something; to consider the well being of, or to treat someone or something with deference or courtesy". Showing respect is a basic law of life.
3. Once a council has decided something in unity, respect demands that no one speak secretly against what has been decided. If the council has made an error, that error will become apparent to everyone in its own time.
4. Be truthful at all times, and under all conditions.
5. Always treat your guests with honor and consideration. Give of your best food, your best blankets, the best part of your house, and your best service to your guests.
6. The hurt of one is the hurt of all; the honor of one is the honor of all.
7. Receive strangers and outsiders with a loving heart and as members of the human family.
8. All the races and tribes in the world are like the different colored flowers of one meadow. All are beautiful. As children of the Creator they must all be respected.
9. To serve others, to be of some use to family, community, nation, and the world is one of the main purposes for which human beings have been created. Do not fill yourself with your own affairs and forget you’re most important talks. True happiness comes only to those who dedicate their lives to the service of others.
10. Observe moderation and balance in all things.
11. Know those things that lead to your well-being and those things that lead to your destruction.
12. Listen to and follow the guidance given to your heart. Expect guidance to come in many forms; in prayer, in dreams, in times of quiet solitude, and in the words and deeds of wise Elders and friends.
Wahoo!!!

Nobody does !!
Can you read ?? These are the facts.
2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Only one entity called by name has been judged, Satan.
No one has perished yet, not even Satan.

That's not the biggest mistake you're making. D.L. Moody said that 95% of people calling themselves Christians are not. I Agree. You're making the same mistake. And, it's an eternal one.
