You are choosing to focus on the specifics of one religion and one belief system. Not all religions or belief systems include burning in hell or accepting Christ as a savior. Not all belief systems are limited to one God either.

I think it is important to separate organized religions from beliefs when discussing what would happen if the existence of a supreme being were actually proven.
