If you truly believe in your religion and others truly believe in theirs, then in your your eyes they will go to hell and in their eyes you will be going to hell, so it seems that everyone is going to hell. Doesn't it?

Personally I think the afterlife is whatever a person believes it will be. If you believe in heaven and hell then that is the reality you will create. If you believe in a 'Happy Hunting Ground", then that's what you get. If you believe you be welcomed into Valhalla then keep your cape and sword ready.
Ya, and everyone believes they are right. Not everyone can be right, but it is possible for everyone to be wrong

I think that we just die. We go brain dead so our consciousness is ended. Our bodies rot. The particles that make us up will go into making something new. I don't believe in "souls".
