God doesn't judge people so much on what they believe, rather how they act. Loving thy neighbor is not now, nor has it been in the past an action/thought limited to Christianity.

Very true. According to the Catholic faith at least, even non-Christians can be "saved" by being Good People (TM). Not very judgmental if you ask me. In fact, it's pretty reasonable.

Fundamentally true and a very important point here. Anyone who associates fear (of Hell or anything else) with Christianity is simply wrong and has no idea what they're talking about. Christianity is literally about the exact opposite - the absence of fear, of mediocrity, of cynicism, and so forth.
