If were God would you create a place (or allow a place) for people who did not believe in your existence in their lives or did not follow the right religion to suffer for all eternity?
This is a hypothetical question. I am not asking if there is such a place, but if you were God would you have such a place.

Simply no. An all-powerful being must showcase that power in gentleness, except in defense of the innocent, or it is worthless at best.

If I were a god/dess, I'd be more straightforward with people than the Biblical god has been. I'd tell people up front who I am and what I want. And I wouldn't make them jump through hoops or play guessing games, either.
Oh, yeah, and I'd never even dream of creating a "hell" for people who either didn't believe in me or disagreed with me. If I was a god/dess, I'd be above such petty concerns.
If you're truly a deity, why would you care what mere humans think?

Well, as you can see by this Scripture that a Human will burn you forever just because you may have done them wrong for just a little while. But notice who is talking and what he thought about it.
If you are thinking like God thinks then of course you wouldn't.
If a person is fleshly and thinking like a man....yep.
Roasty and toasty!
And they have built the high places of To′pheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hin′nom*, in order to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, a thing that I had not commanded and that had not come up into my heart.’ -Jeremiah 7:31
(Jeremiah 19:5) And they built the high places of the Ba′al in order to burn their sons in the fire as whole burnt offerings to the Ba′al, something that I had not commanded or spoken of, and that had not come up into my heart.”’
(Jeremiah 32:35) Furthermore, they built the high places of Ba′al that are in the valley of the son of Hin′nom, in order to make their sons and their daughters pass through [the fire] to Mo′lech, a thing that I did not command them, neither did it come up into my heart to do this detestable thing, for the purpose of making Judah sin.’
Now, do you think God would just...........change his mind?
So much for Hell being Scriptural, huh?

Well, even though you are He who NEVER gives best answer, I'll still get my two points.
I don't know what I would do if I was God. God is a spirit, whose mind is not finite like ours, and who is omniscient and omnipotent, and omnipresent. I have no idea how it is to be these things, so I have no clue.

There would be a place for everybody. Anything else is unthinkable, unnatural, illogical, and irrelevant.

No punishment for not kowtowing to me.
Even Hitler would get a chance at learning from his mistakes, healing and growing.

No, and I would not have to. I would make sure that my human creation KNOWS that I exist, not merely believe.

If I were God and someone made it their life goal to deny me, then yeah, I'd be a little pissy towards them.
