From what I read all sins are equal in the eyes of God soo that means not believing beeing at the same level with any other sin. If Jesus died for our sins that includes not believing in him.
We puny, insignificant creatures have the ability to differentiate between the severity of crimes. Jaywalking isn't the same as robbery, which isn't the same as murder, for example. They all come with different penalties associated with them because the amount of harm done is different in each case.
To have unbelief - which hurts no one (and, really, one would think that the purportedly most powerful being in existence could shrug off the slights and insults of far, far, far more inferior creatures) - as bad as something where actual harm is done is asinine.
But, again, the very notion of sin is idiotic.
