(For the sake of I haven't had caffeine yet, I'm going to write the next paragraph of so without using the words allegedly/according to my beliefs/etc. Just pretend they're there please. XD)

Another one of Grievous' theological corrections/notes. Avoiding Hell because you fear it shouldn't be how it works anyway. It isn't a punishment; it is a choice. Hell, strictly speaking, is a place without God, created as a product of free will, yet not of God. Satan and company exist there out of resentment for God. Those who choose to be without God, either overtly or in their actions, are granted this in access to Hell. Of course, being a choice doesn't make it a fun place. After all, it is the lack of God. If God is good, what is Hell? If God is peace, what is Hell? Et cetera.

I will say this though: the Church doesn't teach that all atheists go to Hell. I personally hold the belief that if you follow God in your actions you're following him, knowing or not, and will get to heaven.

This would be a wonderful time to make a wisecrack about exceptions concerning Gondor players, but as I said, I need caffeine.
