It's not funny at all. It's sad.
Annnnnnnd where does it say on there that Catholic teaching is that atheists and those of other faiths go to Hell??
As for your question regarding Wikipedia...
Listen, the Catechism is the official document with all the Catholic teaching regarding faith and morals. So I'll say it again: If you want to know what the Church's official stance on something is, your best bet is to go to the Catechism and look up whatever you want to find. That way you avoid arguing a strawman of Catholicism and making yourself look silly in the process. Going straight to the source is a much better option than relying on Wikipedia or someone's blog site.
Then, you believe in Catechism and not the Bible; which points and indicates that the Christian Catholic faith is a human invention, subject to change with the times, depending on what the clergy says. What is allowed today can be forbidden tomorrow, and vice versa. There is no teachings of Jesus; teachings of Jesus are what the Church says.
That is hijacking of religion, and a control move that keeps the followers of the Church under utter control, and destruction of personal choice. Such a good control model worthy to be a role model for Shiite and Sunni Muslims too. Eventually it's nothing but a Roman Pope's orders and commands that Catholics follow.
Opium of the masses.
Again; here is where the link from wikipedia specifies that Catholic doctrine promise hell for "any person refusing God".
Who is God in Catholic religion, but Jesus? the son of man? God's manifestation in human form?

Quote:Nature of hell
The Catechism of the Catholic Church which, when published in 1992, Pope John Paul II declared to be "a sure norm for teaching the faith",[43] defines hell as eternal fiery punishment for refusing to love God:
Which makes everybody on this site who isn't accepting Jesus as God, in the lake of fire.
