The Day that God Almighty The Most Gracious Most Compassionate will Judge Mankind and The Jinns

I'm a Muslim and here is My opinion on Judgment Day

In the Quran
[Man asks]: "So when is the Day of Resurrection?" But when the eyesight is dazzled, and the moon is eclipsed, and the sun and moon are fused together, on that Day man will ask: "Where can I run?" No indeed! There will be no safe place. (Qur'an, 75:6-11)

When the stars are extinguished, when Heaven is split open, when the mountains are pulverised, and when the Messengers' time is appointed. (Qur'an, 77:8-11)

The Hour is coming, but I have concealed it so that every self can be repaid for its efforts. (Qur'an, 20:15)

They will ask you about the Hour: When is it due? Say: "Knowledge of it rests with my Lord alone. He alone will reveal it at its proper time. It hangs heavy in the heavens and Earth. It will not come upon you except suddenly." They will ask you as if you had full knowledge of it. Say: "Knowledge of it rests with God alone. But most people do not know that." (Qur'an, 7:187)

On the Day the sky is like molten brass and the mountains like tufts of colored wool. No good friend will ask about his friend. (Qur'an, 70:8-10)

When Heaven is split apart and goes red like dregs of oil. (Qur'an, 55:37)

In the New Testament

But in those days, following that distress, the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky... (Mark 13:24-25)

Be on guard! Be alert! You do not know when that time will come. (Mark 13:33)

Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness, and the anxieties of life, and that Day will close on you unexpectedly, like a trap. For it will come upon all those who live on the face of the whole Earth. (Luke 21:34-35)

... The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and Earth and everything in it will be laid bare. Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives as you look forward to the Day of God and speed its coming. That Day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. (2 Peter 3:10-12)

Old Testament

... For the Day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision. The sun and moon will be darkened, and the stars no longer shine. (Joel 3:14-15)

… The Day of the Lord is near; it will come like destruction from the Almighty. Because of this, all hands will go limp, every man's heart will melt. Terror will seize them, pain and anguish will grip them; they will writhe like a woman in labor. They will look aghast at each other, their faces aflame. See, the Day of the Lord is coming-a cruel Day, with wrath and fierce anger-to make the land desolate and destroy the sinners within it. The stars of heaven and their constellations will not show their light. The rising sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light. (Isaiah 13:6-10)

Alas for that Day! For the day of the Lord is near; it will come like destruction from the Almighty. (Joel 1:15)

The great Day of the Lord is near-near and coming quickly. Listen! The cry on the Day of the Lord will be bitter, the shouting of the warrior there. That Day will be a day of wrath, a day of distress and anguish, a day of trouble and ruin, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and blackness. (Zephaniah 1:14-15)

Signs of Judgment Day

Huzaifa bin Usaid Al-Ghifari reported: Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم came to us all of a sudden as we were talking. He said: "What are you discussing?" We said: "We are talking about the Last Hour." Thereupon, he صلى الله عليه وسلم said: "It will not come until you see ten signs before it, He made a mention of the Smoke, the Dajjal (Anti-Christ), the Daabba, the Rising of the Sun from the West, the Descent of Jesus Son of Mary عليه السلام (from Heaven), the emergence of Ya'juj and Ma'juj (Gog & MaGog), and Khusuf (Land Collapses or Landslides) will occur in three places: one in the East, one in the West and one in Arabian Peninsula. At the end, a Fire would burn forth from Yemen (or from Aden according to Ahmad), which would drive people to the place of their final assembly (before they get resurrected by God)." (Sahih Muslim, Musnad Ahmad)

I'm going to be brutally honest, and I do not mean to offend if I do, but one of the things that sickened me about Christianity and Islam was the so-called 'judgement' on 'Judgement Day'. You either believe or you don't. How is that fair judgement? How do you base a person's worth on getting into heaven or hell on their religion? A just god judge you by how you lived your life, did you strive to help others or were you greedy and only helped yourself? Did you aim for the Greater Good, the good of the people, instead of the good of a few or one? Things like that are true things to judge a person by. A person's religion or having no religion should not be what you use to determine if they are good or not.

That is not the case at all, you can be Buddhist and go to heaven, or nirvanah if you want, or be Muslim and still go to heaven. Being a specific religion does not give you a better chance of getting into heaven. As long as you are a good person to others you are gueranteed paradise. You can even be a pagan and go to heaven. What you cannot be (according to my point of view) is a satinist because being a satinist is literally worshiping evil. But you need to be real like going to the Black Mass and screaming out "Hail Satin" not a teenager that wants attention, that doesn't count as a sin, I would think. But being a Christian or Jew or Muslim does not gueratee you paradise. I promise you

So if you don't need to believe in a specific religion to go to heaven, what about Atheists? Would they still be eligible to go to heaven?
Just wanting to be sure.

Satanism isn't worshipping evil.
It's worshipping Satan.
Satan is said to be the embodiment of evil in Biblical mythos, but there are things to support that he's not (giving us critical thinking because of the Tree of Knowledge, punishing the evil) as evil as he's made out to be.
He offered food to Jesus in the desert. Pretty chill, man.

The problem with the idea of Satan being evil is that we only have heard of God's side of the story, supposedly...If we heard both sides, things may change drastically. And who knows, even though Satan saw God in all his glory and power, Satan still chose to betray and question him, and you would have to be pretty stupid to go against an all-powerful being who you know closely unless you know something.

There's also a particular type of "Satanist" that in no way worships Satan. They more worship themselves, and Satan is just an archetype they use.

In general, I seem to find that most 'satanists' tend to be a bunch of kids who want to be independant and do what they want. It used to be more about taking power away from the church, much like Protestantism was developed (by accident) in order to take away power from the corrupted Roman Catholic Church in the Dark ages (hence the worst 'protest' in protestantism). What pisses me off is that growing up in a Roman Catholic family, s-e-x was often demonized and considered a curse word for a long time, and I had/still have problems with relationships because such interactions were held with such disdain, yet during the ages when the chruch was corrupted the freaking CLERGYMEN own their own personal BROTHELS (whorehouses).
