I guess if you put it that way...........

I do put it that way. I think God is exactly as likely as Santa.

Do atheists go to hell?

Back to Santa. Many Christians do think atheists are going to hell. I accept the concern or the nasty intent as the case many be (Christians differ) but it's hard to be afraid of never-never-land even if it's a horrid never-never land.

How do you know there is not more than one, are maybe you are worshipping different faces of the same supernatural being who is having a laugh?
If your god is the true one, why does he allow other gods to be worshipped?
Offering a Biblical perspective.

The Biblical God says that He is the only God (Isaiah 44:6,45:5). This statement is either true or false. If this statement is true then there are no other God's. If this statement is false then either there is no God, many God's, or another one God but not the one in the Bible.

From a Biblical perspective, is it possible that there is one God with many faces? (I'm assuming your speaking of ecumenicalism-many paths to one God) No it is not possible. A simple answer is found when Jesus says, I am the way and the truth and the life, no one comes to the father except through me.

Which brings me back to my original question. Why believe the Bible instead of the Koran? The Koran also says it is true. What made you choose the Bible?
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
