But it's not that simple is it? Let's for the moment assume that Christianity is in fact true.
Now, the only way that we can avoid hell and all it's torment is to accept Christ as our savior and be good Christians. This is a system that God has personally put in place. He could have done anything but he didn't, he chose to employ this.
Now this would be fine if it was obvious that God actually existed and this is what he had in mind for his creation then we could all make an informed decision. But this isn't how it is though is it.
He chose to hide this from everyone, get rid of any evidence that this is what he wanted. If he so loves us and wants us to make the right decision, why create such an absurd method for us to be saved?
I mean this is important stuff, it's the difference between an eternity of paradise and an eternity of torment. And the criteria that God uses to determine this is whether you happen to accept Christ as your savior! What about all those people who are born to families of different religions or those to none? Surely they are at a serious disadvantage? And why, if this is all true, is there absolutely no evidence that Christianity is true or even has an air of verisimilitude about it?
What kind of loving and caring God would create such a strange and unlikely system to determine your ultimate fate?
Holding yourself accountable for your own actions is one thing but when those actions include not adhering to a particular religion that has no basis in fact or supporting evidence and it's rejection is based simply on logic, common sense, parental conditioning and/or personal choice with no malicious motives whatsoever and the rejection of this particular ideology could lead you to an eternity of torture and torment and it's acceptance the opposite then even you must see how nonsensical it is. And incredibly unfair and irrational!
