I've noticed a trend. Please correct me if I'm wrong but lets start with a little back story:

For over a thousand years people lived in parts of the world as christians. While they didn't always agree many of the concepts have remained the same. One of those is unbelievers go to hell.

Fast forward to present day and suddenly people have a problem with this. The problem is that if God was real and loving then he wouldn't send people do hell, so hence God must not exist.
Yes. People grew wise to the silly ways of the church. Remember that we're talking about an institution that for CENTURIES refused to translate its main source of information into non-latin languages. People have a tendency to do that: feed them BS for long enough and someone will eventually gag and stop swallowing. It doesn't make any sense for a god who loves people to also send them to hell. It's nonsense. People have spent careers and lifetimes trying to mitigate this nonsense. The end result is that it's still nonsense, but now it's nonsense with bad logic "supporting" it.

Atheist (secular non theists) seem to have a common ideal, they either want to be dead and thats it, or go to hell.
What a silly assertion?

First, it's not about what we "want". It's about what's true. What's not BS. Second, we don't "want to go to hell". That's absurd. Erase this nonsense from your argument immediately. It's part of the "Atheists really do believe in god, but are mad at him" argument that we've crushed to dust time and again on here.

2) There is a low possibility God could exist,...
Now you're talking about agnostics. Not atheists.

3) God sends unbelievers the hell. He is clearly uncaring and unjust so every rational person should WANT to be an atheist and go to hell just get away from that God.
See above regarding the "atheists really do believe" argument. This isn't an option.
