But of course, Christianity is true...Islam is wrong, but it's okay, God's a nice guy, he'll spare them.Every tradition has within it some spiritual light, to greater or lesser degree. All people of sincere faith have an openness to receive God and will enjoy His mercy...even if some of the doctrines are not correct.

But an atheist who is active in his community, walks the neighbor's dogs for them, has an honest job, works hard, donates to charity, hosts soup lines for the homeless, and raises a nice family is going to Hell?Yes, he will. Because his motivations focus entirely on the world and have no spiritual content.
