"It's true to me that god exists and that if I don't believe in him I go to hell after death" is saying that those not in my religion and belief system are condemned

I'm Jewish and Jews don't believe in hell.
Whatever you believe the design and constructs of a religion are, I personally don't know anyone of any faith who would wish to convert someone... except maybe some Jehovah's Witnesses I lived near once, they were pretty keen on ministry. I've always found that it's people with no faith who are quick to condemn religions by lumping them all together and pulling out the very worst of each one. Extremists - found in virtually all religions - are an exception of course.
