If the End Times does arrive it's not just atheists and agnostics but lots of people that will be in trouble. I don't think it says anywhere that believing in a false God is better than believing nothing or being undecided - in fact, the opposite is probably true.
That means all non-Jesus faiths including Jews, Buddhists, Sunnis, Shias, Hindus, Pagans, Native American religions, traditional Chinese religions, and Rastafarians are pretty much screwed. Add all these groups up, and you've got, give or take, about 4.5 billion people, two thirds of the world, including pretty much all of Asia and the Middle East, that will be headed to the toasty fires of Hades when Jesus shows up.
But this might be lowballing it actually because even within Christianity, many preach anyone outside their sect is damned to hell if you go with the orthodox version. If you're Catholic, for instance, that would include all 30,000 sects of Protestantism. Don't even get me started on Mormonism or Scientologists like Tom Cruise.
