There can be no true love or worship without choice.
Well see you actually don't have a choice, you're supposed to worship and love it and only it lol. Choice does not enter into the equation, the 10 commandments aren't merely just helpful suggestions from this thing.

Not really, it is more like if someone offers you a gift, but you may be too stubborn to except it.It is the person who doesn't except the gift's fault if they go to hell.
Your example would be more accurate if someone offered you a gift only on the condition you worship them and only them.

No worship is enough to reach Heaven.

Actually no your link does not say this. What this is saying is that going to church isn't a requirement to get into heaven.
It also gives the following bible quote: “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal lifeâ€
This would mean anyone who is agnostic or an atheist would be denied this "eternal life". It also means that people who follow different religions also will be denied. This means you could live a good life, be a good person, do many good deeds, but still be denied if you don't believe. Isn't that evil?

No person is perfect, none have made no sins other than Jesus.
Being an athiest will indeed lend you a spot in hell, you must believe, you don't just get in heaven for being a good person.
