I think that anyone who opts out of faith in Christ is condemned because only a bad person would reject the basis of his teaching.
That's a ridiculous reading of that verse. You're saying all atheists are "bad" people? Or are you saying that by "believe" Jesus is referring to agreement with moral principles?
Both are wrong for different reasons.
No, they are wrong for the same reason. It is not reasonable to believe something simply because one "wants it to be true."
