Also, what baout tribes in Africa, who have NEVER, EVER even heard about Jesus Christ and Jehova and Allah and stuff. Do they go to hell just because noone ever introduced them to their religion?

From what I've heard heathens who have not been exposed to the word of God but lead otherwise moral lives go to Limbo, the very outskirts of Hell, where they are just bored and sad for all eternity instead of tormented.
Anyway, back to belief for the sake of covering your ass after you die...the problem is that Christianity preaches so much temperance, abstinence, and spiritual over worldly growth, that if you take it to heart, you miss out on a lot of opportunities to enjoy real life, and then, if you die and discover that there is no afterlife, you've wasted your entire existence waiting for a fairy tale.
I put my bet on the earthly side. At least I know plenty of interesting people who will be in Hell with me if I'm wrong.
I want to get that made an official emoticon...heheh
