Another thing about punishment, hell is a place of separation from God. It is a consequence of not searching for a relationship with God. Our sin must have atonement, he has offered such but we must freely take it. God does not send people to Hell, they send themselves.

Romans 6:23 New International Version (NIV)
23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Of course if you don't believe God exists, than you have nothing to worry about...wait, it probably does not work that way. I am guessing that if God exists and you bet he didn't, it won't change the heaven/hell thing much.
