I'm of the opinion that (and this assumes the existence of both a god and hell) as long as a person lives a good life any god that would damn them for such a petty thing as not believing in something for which no proof was ever given is a god I don't want anything to do with. If you assume a just, benign, and merciful god then those who are truly good are destined for heaven; otherwise, god is just omnipotence with a sadistic streak. If that's the case, send me to hell, I'll have the air conditioning installed within the first year :P
