My Cats are going to Hell

So from a general religious standpoint, lack in belief of a god = hell forever after you die, even if you're an agnostic since you aren't worshipping a God. Does that mean my pets are going to hell from a religious standpoint?

So some people will say that since they are non-human, they don't have a spirit or soul, which means they won't go to heaven or hell. I find that absolute BS because either you believe in spirits/souls or you don't. Humans aren't some magical non-animal being that just happen to be more special than everyone else.

This question can also be asked for babies who die of course, which I'm sure people have asked this but I've never seen any answers for it from theists. Alright so basically what I'm asking is since my animals aren't worshipping some God, does that mean when they die, they are going to suffer? Or do my cats and reptiles secretly have some bibles hidden around my room that they read time to time to make sure they, too, go to heaven?
