Christians believe that if you don't accept Jesus as your savior, you will go to Hell.
What do other religions believe will happen if you don't believe their faith?

In my experience, Wiccans often believe that all religions are valid paths to the Divine -- therefore, if the religion you are following brings you into contact with God/dess as you understand it, then you are on the right track!
We also tend to believe that your path is your path, and that we do not have the right to interfere by attempting to convert you to our faith. In any case, why would we, if the Divine is accessible by many different routes?
Atheism and agnosticism are also seen as honorable perspectives on the mystery of existence, provided they are engaged in honestly and thoughtfully.
As far as many Wiccans are concerned, if there is an afterlife the God and the Goddess TRULY love all living things as Their children -- no one will be turned away, no matter what their deeds or their belief system. Wiccan beliefs on the afterlife vary widely, but in cases where an afterlife is envisioned, there is no Hell, only entry into a blessed realm where (often) the soul is believed to rest and be renewed before reincarnation.

I am a Toaist. Rather you believe in our words or not the same thing that will happen to me will happen to you.
The Toa doesn’t take side; it gives birth to both good and evil. The Master doesn’t take sides; he/she welcomes both saints and sinners.
The Toa is like a bellows: it is empty yet infinitely capable.
The more you use it, the more it produces; the more you talk of it the less you understand.
The Tao is called the Great Mother: empty yet inexhaustible, it gives birth to infinite worlds.
It is always present within you. You can use it any way you want.

Mormons believe that you will be judged on what you learned and how you used that knowledge to see where you get placed in the Kingdom of God. So we don't think you'll go to Hell we think you'll be placed in a lower glory. We believe there are 3 glories to heaven. The Celestial (top), Terrestial (middle) and Telestial (lowest). So whatever you learned when you denied Christ is just judged on what they learned about him and their belief's. We are also not a cult!!

Not all Christians believe that you will go to Hell (as a place of burning firey torment forever and ever). The Bible says that Jesus is the only mediator between God and man and that the wages of sin is death.

Honestly? All the bickering about who's right and who's wrong is called judging. And judging others is a bad place to be on judgment day. Quite frankly, I feel that what you believe in is what you receive.

Nothing. In my religion you wouldn't be punished for not believing. As long as you live a good life you've got nothing to worry about.
