It's not injustice. All people have the same requirements for salvation.
Imagine a world where the greatest sinners have no hope of redemption.
1 Corinthians 13
Chapter 13[a]
1 If I speak in human and angelic tongues[b.] but do not have love, I am a resounding gong or a clashing cymbal. 2 And if I have the gift of prophecy and comprehend all mysteries and all knowledge; if I have all faith so as to move mountains but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give away everything I own, and if I hand my body over so that I may boast but do not have love, I gain nothing.
4 [c]Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, [love] is not pompous, it is not inflated, 5 it is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury, 6 it does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. 7 It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 [d]Love never fails. If there are prophecies, they will be brought to nothing; if tongues, they will cease; if knowledge, it will be brought to nothing. 9 For we know partially and we prophesy partially, 10 but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. 11 When I was a child, I used to talk as a child, think as a child, reason as a child; when I became a man, I put aside childish things. 12 At present we see indistinctly, as in a mirror, but then face to face. At present I know partially; then I shall know fully, as I am fully known. 13 [e]So faith, hope, love remain, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
At no point does this explain why it's ok to torture someone for eternity for picking the wrong religion when there's no objective way to show any one religion is any more right than another. How sadistic is that? You just have to guess and hope you get the right religion or god will torture you.
Considering what religion you are 99% of the time only depends on in which country you were born and what your parents religion is, some people were created simply to burn. Why is being born into the wrong religion the only non-forgivable sin?
