I know, you already set up a "thanks"-threat to answer all the comments but I'd like to give you my little cup of opinion too. And that goes like this:
I work for church. le gasp!! But no! Don't go! Although I passionatelly like to tell stories and draw my comic about "evil gay people" (disclaimer: I also am pretty cynical so please read "evil gay" as a joke!) and love and stuff, I firstly am a musician and as that I work as a musician for church. I play piano and organ, sing and have a choir which sings loads of music from (christian) composers like Bach, Schütz, Brahms, Schubert ... ect.
At the same time I know a lot of people I like to call "ultra christians". In Germany we have a word for extrimist football (soccer) fans which is called "ultra fan", though the definition is very close to and does not exclude hooligans. As for ultra christians (at least to me) are people who not only call their own religion the best there is but also everyone who has got a different belief evil ... or should at least tried to be converted. They fly high above.
Christianism in its core to me though is not about being the supreme and becoming just that. Jesus, no matter if you see him as a person of religion or in a historical context, was one of the first persons whose stories and legacy is about kindness. The story of trying to be better. But it is not the story of BECOMING better. The same goes for Marthin Luther (yes I am protestant btw.). In opposition to humanism Luther taught a form of christianity where everyone should try to become a better version of him or herself but is damned to never archieve the highest high. It though also is the philosophy that man (humans ... whatever) cannot better themselves. Unlike communism or humanism in which both concepts teach of the ability of man becoming his or her own supreme.
Now I wrote this vast text which seems like only babbling around. But what I wanted to depict by that is: It is not up to a christian whether you go to "hell" or "stovokhor" (yes, Star Trek pun intended) or what ever. I myself even disagree with the concept of hell itself altogether.
Telling someone as a self called christian that he or she might go somwhere where some kind of "devil" sits is in my opinion very un-christiany (plus what will happen in hell? Does Lucifer do Tea Parties? Does he like pies? Cakes? No one knows!).
It is not important that you believe in god, Jesus Christ, the prophets of Islam, Cthulhu (okay maybe not Cthulhu), Buddha, Rama and his buddies, the flying spagetti monster or in any form of deity. It is more important that you as a person are kind. Be a decent person! Try to be fair and (what is in western / eastern terms called as) "good".
By acting like that you'd possibly even be closer to Jesus and his philosophy than those who call you bad names because you do not fullfill their concept and expectation of a religious and / or "right" life. In the end all we really know is nothing: Believers do NOT know if in the end there is a God, and nonbelivers do not know if there IS NOT a god. We're all on the same boat.
