Well since God is the only one that can keep you out of hell, then who do you think will save you.

If you don't believe in God, then you can't believe in Hell since Hell was God's doing. If you don't believe in Hell, why worry about it?
It's like all these shock-atheists (notice how I don't capitalize here) who claim to be Satanists. You can't have Satan without a God to have created him; they just want the shock value of the double whammy--first denouncing God, then embracing Satan. How childish.
If you full-bore do not believe in God, then you are an Atheist (which will be misspelled by fundies as athIEst all the friggin' time). No God, no Hell.

It is my personal belief that your intellectual ideas are almost irrelevant to God and taht what he cares about most is the state of your soul. Your beliefs and actions affect your soul, and Christians believe that Christianity is the best arrangement for those things. But Romans 2:13-15, Matthew 25:31-46, and Luke 10:25-37 explicitly say that judgment does not hinge upon your beliefs but on your behavior.
Verses in the Bible that talk about believing are non-exclusive. Jesus is the Way and no man comes to the Father but by him - but the Way that Jesus is doesn't need to be thought of or called by any certain name according to the passages above. Paul says if you believe x,y, and z you will be saved. But he also says in that Romans passage that you needn't believe correctly.
But the rest of Romans details what he believes is the reality - what we do best to believe and that assures we have it right. Even the Catholic Church states that Catholicism is a sure path to Heaven and the further you get away from it the less sure they are about what happens. Pope John Paul 2 said he believed most people go to purgatory and end up in Heaven.

If there is no god, there is no hell.
In ancient civilizations the hell they spoke of was a good place. Christianity came along and they were converting everyone and decided that hell had to be a bad place, somewhere that people would not want to go. So the conversion of hell took place. These days hell is used for scaring people so they won't question the belief system.

If you don't believe in God you should not be worried about hell.

If you die before you have trusted the Lord Jesus Christ as your savior,then, unfortunately, yes. However, the fact that you asked this question means there is hope for you. I, for one, am praying for you. People prayed for me when I was an unbeliever. Prayer is powerful. God draws people to Himself. The Holy Spirit convicts people of their sins and shows them that they need a savior. When they hear the gospel, some will accept it and some will reject it. Please read the New Testament. Here are some Bible verses to look up: Romans 5:8; Romans 10:13; Romans 3:23; John 3:16; Proverbs 3:5,6; Philippians 4:6,7.

You should be concerned about now. A very famous American psychologist, Abraham Maslow (1908-1970), said "I can feel guilty about the past, apprehensive about the future, but only in the present can I act. The ability to be in the present moment is a major component of mental wellness."
Learn about yourself and what heaven and hell really is according to top psychologists. You can be happy now and forever. See site below and be afraid no more.

No Hun. You can only go to hell if you believe there is such a place. There isn't. If you can't believe in God then believe in yourself. God is within you.

Nope. Hell is not for the children of God...no matter how far they strayed. One day (perhaps not in this life), you will return home to God...for we all do, eventually.

By the deeds of the law there shall no person be
justified in God’s sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin and all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Romans 3:20, 23
Then,
They all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 2 Thessalonians 2:12 Also I say unto you, whosoever shall confess me (Jesus) before men, him shall the Son of man (Jesus) also confess before the angels of God:
But he that denies me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.. Luke 12:8-9
However.
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9
For,
Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father, but by me. John 14:6
Therefore,
If you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you shall be saved. Romans 10:9
Then,
He that overcomes, the same shall be clothed in white robes; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. Revelation 3:5
So,
That whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. John 3:15
