Be honest, am I going to hell for "my" atheism?

Lek, you can't simply pretend that there isn't suffering in the world that serves absolutely no purpose at all, and yet still happens. What lessons do infants that get killed in natural disasters learn? What strength is my wife's autoimmune disease supposed to confer? It's never going to stop hounding her, there's no way to consistently fight it, what purpose does that needless pain have?

God could remove all of that pain, and yet he doesn't. If I could remove that pain, that would undoubtedly be a morally good act, right? If I could save a baby's life, same deal? And if I had the ability to do both of those, and didn't, that would be an immoral act, right? Can you provide a reason why god should be exempt from those same metrics? Don't cite free will; the genetic disease my wife has has no free will to contravene, nor does the disaster set to take the baby's life. Why is it that god doesn't intervene, and yet you don't consider this immoral?
