While believers, receive God with us, (Yeshua/Jesus), spiritually in our hearts and minds. Is there a sin of unbelief that can come about? While Jesus is the way to the Father and because of his finished work comes to people spiritually. It's God/Yahavah who looks upon the heart and those who do look to God, he writes on those who seek him on their conscience; he already has made creations which are pieces of evidence of himself that declare his handiwork (Psalms 19:1) and his glory. There are people out in the world who seek Yahavah, in spirit even without knowing the Lord Jesus' name, which is not even Jesus, but technically Yeshua. Either way, it goes. Those people out there in the wild can have access to God and God writes on their hearts and minds spiritually they are spoken to by and through the conscious. When the guy goes to steal a pig, but all of a sudden feels bad for what they are doing, perhaps they return the pig instead of taking it. What happens when it comes down to a person who rejects that God exists, even in the conscious? Would it be considered the sin of unbelief? However, I do not believe people go to hell anymore due to hell being done away with. There is a heavenly realm, mentioned in Revelation 21 - 22, which has those who are resurrected who are on the outside of the gates of the Heavenly Jerusalem.
The Bible states that all people are given light amidst the darkness, having the ability to reason, think, and choose. Making us individually responsible for what we may do with our own lives. Good or bad. Believing or not believing. The further one goes away from the light, the more that darkness comes in corroding the heart. Just like Pharaoh. Who continued to not allow Moses' people go, and his heart continued to become hardened even while Yahavah, took out crops, and even the pharaoh firstborn. Is there a sin, in unbelief? Becoming hard of heart, falling away from the light, while glorifying the darkness?
~~ People loved darkness over the light because their deeds were evil. They are not rejoicing anything that is life giving that comes from God, they hate the light. The further a person goes down this hole of darkness, the more a person can even turn from believing, to unbelieving... While most people say no it's not true, even Jesus speaks concerning the "parable of the sower." Of people dying of what is a life-giving virtue looking to the Lord God, for more of what the world offers, loving the darkness, and hating light.
Here are a few other scriptures to think about:
While people may love darkness, and even fall into the sin of unbelief; as light-bringers of the LORD GOD, perhaps if we can share some of the light with them, even though they may hate it: they may once again turn from that darkness, and desire the light more. Though it may be challenging for them, all we can do is pray and hope, staying faithful to Yahavah, and abiding in the Lord Yeshua, to shine a light into the darkness, and help those who have hardened hearts. Because it happens to people even who were believers at one time, they can become hardened of heart.
