as a former Christian, im not in a position to say yes or no to this pergunta and i respect that. I can give you some view points i used to have when i was one, and yes, basically, so if i was God back then i would have basically just sent myself to hell XD because i believed that anyone who refused to believe in God....the Christian God, would be subject to eternal damnation. Now let's go back to the new testament shall we? When God talks about his amor in John "for god so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life. For God sent not his son into the world not to condemn the world but that the world through him should be saved" jesus talks about amor and he talks about the gentiles, if it wasn't for jesus only the jews would be able to be saved and he aslo says judge not and you shall not be judged and I think jesus put an ease on some of the strict laws of the old testament. Now ofcourse all of this means nothing...however, there's this one part that could mean otherwise, a part that i really wish i could find on google right now! But he says that those who know will be judged por what they know and those who don't know will be judged por what they don't know...now, i think this could mean that if someone genuinely doesn't know that jesus is God, or that there is a God then they may not have to be judged for it He also says that if you have the word of God written in your heart, which i think means if you have a loving coração and a good moral compass, that you don't need to know the word. im sorry, i wish i could have spent mais time digging for the fonte of these things im saying. But my point is...maybe, if you have a good coração you don't need to believe, because how can not believing in something possibly be a sin? What about people who come from places where cristianismo doesn't exist? Should we condemn them to hell too? It's complicated but there's hope that maybe God won't do that.
