You can say you aren't doing that and that you don't believe in hell, but by saying most Christians aren't good Christians, then yes, you are in fact judging and condemning them.
I think the whole point of his argument is that it ISN'T a manual on how to condemn your fellow man, but the most vocal of Christians out there (note how I said the most vocal, not the majority) believe that they DO have the responsibility to condemn the rest of us to a firey pit of despair for all eternity. Of course, I could be wrong about this, but there's my two cents.
