I don't understand your criticism, Keith, it seems out of order.
In fact, it comes across as "well meaning (but totally stupid)"
in a way which Martin's does not.

I can see no way his comment can be construed as judgemental of
anyone's religion, but if you can, please feel free to explain.

When one looks across the Styx from the land of the living, there
is, I understand, no sign on the other side stating that landing
is prohibited to souls adhering to particular religions.

The Styx is of course a feature of Greek mythology, but despite
it having been later adopted in some literature as a feature of
Christian hell, anyone mentioning the Styx today would not
generally intend a connection with Christian hell, and certainly
not with an exclusively Christians-only hell.

But perhaps I'm mistaken.  What do I know?
