If someone truely believes that God does not exist and they believe without hating God or anything he stands for do you think that God will take this into consideration at the end of times.
What about all those who do not know God or have been raised since childhood to believe in some other religion or spiritual belief? Do you think that God will take this into account or do you think he will simply caste everyone who does not believe into hell?

Why would I even consider this if I don't believe in God? I don't hate God, since I don't think God exists. It's hard to hate something that isn't real.
But what difference does it make if some imaginary god takes my stance into consideration or not?
That's the whole point of atheism. To escape the guilt and fear and delusions of religion. So why would I consider all of those things if I'm an atheist?

For the first paragraph: I am atheist. I know about God. I choose not to believe. Is this a sin? NO! I have free will but to me, in my own OPINION, God does not exist. Opinions aren't sins unless you're a born-again.
Second paragraph: God knows about the other religions. God knows about people who are raised without religion, no he will not just cast them into hell, because hell does not exist. Nor does heaven. The Church makes these things up to BRAIN-WASH people and scare them for no good reason.

This is a difficult question but what you have to ask yourself, do want to take the chance?
If a person doesn't in God, it doesn't matter how he/she does it, it like saying, okay if I kill someone but I'll do it nicely, the fact is that a person is dead and that cannot be changed.
Heaven is for the believers of God and not for those who don't, do you really want to take that chance and miss out?
I don't and I hope you don't either.
You have been given the ability to understand this, use it wisely.

If you are talking about the jewish / christian God from the bible then, from what I have read of the book, it would appear that I and most of humanity will be condemned to hell. If you read the bible you would see that simply believing in Him is not enough. There are very many other stipulations. ie Luke 14:26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

In most religions God is fair, just and will consider all things into account in the end. Keep wondering!

Christians, you know the ones who can read the mind of god, have determined that out of love everyone else is going to everlasting hell. How sick do people have to be to need this type of god?

God is the "neutral" field in which we are embedded. This multi-dimensional reality mirrors the contents of mind, so don't worry about them, they're fine. It's you I worry about. The endtimes??? Despite what you have been taught to fear, this phrase only references the end of suffering ego delusions - learned from others. It is simply waking up from the dreamstate to "eternal aliveness." It is about living in the here and now!

I think your argument shows the fundamental nonsense of all religions. That is they are just the expression of a particular culture. It is noticeable that even the different cults/denominations/churches of Christianity take on the value of the culture that adopts it.

Well, from a biblical point of view, If you have sin, you do not go to heaven. Forgiveness is a path set down my Jesus Christ. Man was charge with spreading the word of God so that all could be saved. If you follow this logic far enough, it ends with, " Unless you follow Jesus, you're going to be destroyed "
Best wishes.

Right! God does not cast anyone into hell we cast ourselves because of unbelief. It can be from generation to generation...someone has to break the chain and if it is not broken then we all will parish.
