Simply put almost every religeon says if you dont follow our god and think like us , ie; anti abortion and homosexuality, then you will suffer eternal torment in the afterlife. And before you tell me not your god , read the bible , YES your god says it also.
Actually there is a school of Christian thought that disagrees with you. It says that Christ died for all of us. Our hearts are judged not our actions, yet that choosing to believe is an action; that humans are judged according to what they know (Paul) and also that accepting Christ enables him to take the place of any negative consequence of our actions.

Nothing is really cut and dried. All a Christian knows is where THEY are going, not where anyone else is going. "Do not judge lest you be judged. " It's a scarey thing to try and tell another they are going to hell, assuming hell is an actual place and not a state of nonexistence.
