The only people, in their heads, who will be there, are the ones who choose all of the bullshit they've been listing. It feels like free will to them. Those who don't hold to those values mean nothing and will spend eternity in hell. We could choose to exercise our free will to embrace their values, or keep on being slavish to our own 'other' choices.
I've got a few requests of all of you handsome heathens for while we're down there. Satan's setting me up with quite the palace.
Well, since you brought it up, Satan is the other half of this equation. The universal problem is, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. Satan uses sin to keep people deceived and blinded from the light of the gospel. So, what you're choosing is death over life, and sin over truth.
What it always comes down to is the rejection of Gods authority over personal autonomy to sin. And at least one atheist is intellectually honest enough to admit it:

The bit I'm referring to is at 4:21
Hell isn't going to be any more pleasant for Satan than it will be for anyone else:
Revelation 20:10
and the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
