I'm not playing dumb here, I really want to know what everyone thinks.
By the way, when I say 'God', I mean the Judeo-Christian deity from the Bible.
P.S. I'm not trying to argue Pascal's Wager. That's not my intent.

The same thing that happens to those who do believe. Nothing

It isn't about what everyone thinks, that's where we get so many religions from. It's what God says in His Book that determines how we will be judged.The Bible says that they go to hell until the Day of Judgement, Then hell and it's contents are cast into the Lake of Fire!
Believing is not enough St. John 3:5. We must be Born Again to get rid of our sin nature. We all know that there is no sin in Heaven. And we do that by baptism in His Name for the remission of sins. That is born again of the water. To be Born again of the Spirit is when God puts His spirit inside of us and we speak in an unknown language.Acts 2:4. St. Mark 16:17 tells us the abilities of a true believer. That is God's Plan of Salvation. It is what we must be do to have a personal relationship with Him. That is His desire. Do you want to please God? Become His friend today!! He is waiting on you!!!

It depends on if the Truth of Gods Saving Grace was presented to them correctly. Some reject a lie about God, so deny God. Some reject the truth about God (The Holy Spirit reveals also) and that person has rejected Gods Truth and Gods Spirit & Jesus Christ the Lord.
When the person is told the truth with God presenting the Truth spiritually to the soul of the person, that persons soul rejects Gods Saving Grace even at the death bed, that person will go to hell.
Only those who are redeemed by the blood of the Lamb go to heaven. Those who haven't been presented Gods Truth correctly & aren't saved will go to a place of rest.

Hebrews 9:27 ---For it is appointed unto man once to die and after this is the Judgment.
the future for the wicked and unsaved non-believers is found in
Matthew 22:13; Matthew 25:41; Luke 16: 22,23,24; Galatians 6:7;
Matthew 16:26...What would you give in exchange for your soul??????
Jude 1:7; James 5:16,17,18,19; 1 Corinthians 6:9,10,11 these shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Matthew 7:21---NOT everyone that sayeth unto me LORD, LORD,
shall inherit the kingdom of heaven but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Unsaved will inherit everlasting torment with the devil and his angels in HELL.
Saved will inherit everlasting joy and peace with GOD and the angels in HEAVEN ( John 14:23; James 1:12; 2Tim. 4:8.....
Choose ye this day whom you will serve, as for me and my house we shall serve the Lord. (KJV)

It depends on how well they followed their own conscience and their own sense of empathy. There is nothing in Scripture to suggest that the afterlife is contingent on what you believe or disbelieve. Judgment is based on the deeds performed in the body. Many outspoken American denominations apply 16th century logic to this question, and end up with an answer that is completely at odds with the Bible and traditional Christian theology.

It depends on why they don't believe in God, whether they made a free choice, and how they have acted during life on earth.
Faith and baptism is necessary for salvation, even baptism of desire. If they would know the truth they would have wanted it.
Everyone on this earth gets sufficient grace from God to come to heaven, it's up to us to act on it.

The Bible says that even the demons believe in God. Belief doesn't lead to salvation. It's a condition of the heart.
Since God is perfect, and we are sinners, it is impossible for a sinner to enter Heaven without the savior, Jesus.
And if they don't have the savior (or just don't believe God exists, obviously not accepting salvation) then they are seperated from God forever, because the soul never dies. The body is what dies.
And being seperated from God, they are tortured by demons, led by Satan, because Satan hates them and they are made in God's image. (This is where people assume that God himself tortures those in Hell. Not so, they are seperated from him.)
Since God is mercy and love, there is none of that in hell (or rest), because they are seperated from him.
The whole point is that salvation is a gift, not earned or achieved. We don't deserve it. No other religion can claim that.
There's 420 Biblical references about hell. It's described similar to a prison--dark, hot, putrid smelling, and constant screams.

As far as I'm concerned, the same thing that happens to all of us - we feed the bacteria and worms. This is just my playing piece for the game of life. With respect to a soul, perhaps we do have a spark of being that reverts to a pool of energy. I don't know. But I do not find the answers in current religious beliefs - any of them.

Most souls cross over. You will be welcomed home by family, friends, pets, and God. There will be all your loved ones from all your past lives there to greet you.
Sweetie, religion or belief is not necessary for eternal life.
There are dark souls, of course. I believe they go right back in-utero when this body dies.

We'll be joining the believers who die. Our constituent parts will separate and be returned to the Earth.

will be cast to the fiery hell if you do not accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour. God loves each and every single person. However, you are given free will to choose your own destination. Just accept Jesus in your life and you will be washed from the blood of the lamb and given a new life, and everlasting life in Heaven.
