I was an athiest for years, I don't recall having one Christian tell me I was going to hell, just those idiot televangelists on the TV.
For goodness sake! I lived IN Colorado Springs when Focus on the Family became big, and still never had anyone tell me that, of course, I didn't care enough to ask them what they thought either.
So I guess the question is this,
Are Christians just coming up and telling people, "You're going to burn." or is it because you asked them?

Honestly, the only place that really seems to happen is here. I've had a few people in real life who have told me that. One was even a guy I dated when I was 18 and he said he was really sad because he didn't want me to go to hell. That relationship ending then and there. Anyway, I think people tend to be a little bit more bold when hidden by the cloak of the internet.
ps. I'm Christian and I've never ever said that to anyone in my entire life (not even on here).

Only Christian fundamentalists say that.
Fundamentalism is defined as “the practice of asserting the absolute truth of your own beliefs and practices to the deliberate exclusion of the possibility of truth in the beliefs and practices of others.” It is nothing but bigotry.
Fundamentalists have this "holier than thou" attitude, which gets in your nerves. They always presume to know more about your religion and what is good for you. Fundamentalists talk as if no case could be made for the Catholic faith.
Are they our modern day Pharisees?
How can I bring myself to love them? They resort to black propaganda and lies. Here are some examples of their lies and propaganda.
+ The Pope is the Anti-Christ (they have been saying this since Martin Luther made the accusation).
+ The Church is the Whore of Babylon in the book of Revelation
+ Catholics are not Christians
+ The Catholic Church is the Mother of all harlots.
+ Catholics worship Satan
+ The Catholic Church started Islam

And to add insult to injury they justify these allegations by saying “we don't want you to go to hell,” which is just ridiculous. Do they really expect us to fall for that line?
To my fundamentalist brothers & sisters: Jesus said, “Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. – Matthew 7, 1-2 (KJV)
