Wrong, Unbelief IS sin, the acts that you mentioned are ATTRIBUTES of sin, in other words, by committing those acts, it shows that you don't believe.

For example, say there is a door, and I tell you not to open it because there is a dangerous animal on the other side. If you proceed to open it anyway, you obviously didn't believe me. Therefore it was your unbelief that caused you to commit the act of opening the door.

You're the only person I've ever seen claim that unbelief is the only sin.

Regardless, the idea that your god both needs people to believe in him despite a dearth of evidence and must eternally torture those that don't is idiotic.  It's inefficient. It's wasteful.  And I dare say unnecessary.  

Surely an almighty being can come up with a better system than creating people, watching what they do during their lifetimes, then deciding whether they're worthy to join him in the pleasant afterlife (where the skills and lessons learned in life here are utterly useless) or should be tortured for eternity.  Why not simply cut out their middle man and create people in heaven?  Or, just completely obliterate those who don't make the cut rather than torture them?

That people actually not only believe that tripe, but think it's absolutely great is frightening.  It's socially normalized sociopathy.
