I was just thinking the same thing, 5th. The songs tell us that Hell is reached by a highway while Heaven, by contrast, is accessed via a stairway that apparently you can buy.
In all seriousness, how can they? Their religion is centered around a faith-based scheme of salvation. One can't be a Christian and gloss over this point. It's not just a characteristic of the religion but the alleged purpose of it.
So what's the alternative? Watch as their child walks off into a lake of fire? Say they need to find their own way? This is why "moderate Christianity" makes no sense and why Islamo-Christianity can't co-exist either with other religions or with secularism. The faith-based requirement for salvation is a deal-breaker.
