Agnostics are atheists and will be in hell with atheists.
Hell, I'm an atheist. I just re-read my comment and realized some people might not know that.
Heaven & hell do not exist so the answer to the question is everyone ends up in the same place (6 feet under) regardless what they believe.
And, agnostics most certainly are atheists. They do not believe in a Supreme Being and that's all that matters. Their excuses are irrelevant.

Whose God? Which God? So does that mean that the Dali Lama, a man who started upon his spiritual path from the age of 5 and worked his entire life for the betterment of all humanity will burn in Hell forever because he never did anything in the name of Jesus? Buddhism Is a philosophy, not a religion, after all. I think Christians have it all wrong. If you live a life dedicated to helping humanity, even if it's simply loving your kids the best you can and never hurting anyone, you've earned your right to go to whatever heaven might or might not be there, no matter if you're atheist, Agnostic or whatever. It's the Christians who fool themselves and live hypocritical lives who should be worried.

Well #1 the meaning of Hell is simply ( the Grave ) look in any good encyclpedia. #2 these people will have a chance to know God at the second resurection.
they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
Re 20:5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
Re 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

Agnostics are not atheist stop being ignorant. It is determined by god or actually man because god has never communicated to man it has always been man saying god means this. But if you ask for forgiveness then anyone can go to heaven but since religious people do not want to believe rapist or murders can be in heaven with them they think only they good can ask for forgiveness. The funny thing is good is a matter of opinion therefore anyone can think them self's good and righteous therefore qualify for heaven

What I learned in my world religions class is in Judaism, they do not believe you have to be a Jew to go to Heaven. You only have to be a good person. That bad people, even those who do believe in God, do not go to Heaven, instead they go to a type of pergatory for a period of time to redeem themselves, then they go to Heaven. To me, this makes much more sense than what I was taught as a Christian. Learning about Judaism, I felt like everything made sense, and even helped to explain the questions I had regarding Christianity. I am not Jewish, but lately, I cannot say I am a Christian either. I guess I am a believer of the Jewish faith, without converting. Remember they share the same God and bible (the Old Testament). What separates the two religions is that Jews believe that Jesus was probably a prophet, but that there was no virginal birth, and no son given to her of God. They believe that Jesus was a mortal man of Joseph and Mary, that he existed, and was a great man, but Jews do not believe he rose from the dead. Sorry, guess I got off track here :)

I have no idea. I'd imagine as a good atheist if I've got it wrong I'm all the way to hell ;-), but let's face it, there's no such thing as god so oblivion is the best I have to look forward to. Ahhhh, peace and quiet...And just to comment on the first answer - agnostics are people who believe in god, but have no religion, they are not atheists.

Every one would do the good will take the reward from whomever he targeted behind his doing of such a good .. if he did for people to say he 's good .. or people to reward him .. he will take all he wants in life .. and has no claim to GOD .. (if GOD really exists.)
The idea is so similar to someone buying a machine for the first time he will definitely need a manual guideline about how to use and maintain such a machine ..
If GOD created the whole universe, why not to look at the manual script he sent to us to look after ourselves .. ?!!
If we sacrifice few rubbish desires and needs in life for the sake of that .. should we cry for that ..??
Should i cry for keeping my body and soul clean pure and keen to help others ..?? should i cry to keep the maximum pace of my desires and self ambition but within the boundaries of others ' rights and desires not to be such selfish ..
I think, they are so little those things we sacrifice to GOD to maintain ourselves in best shape ..
If GOD really exists we will be great winners if he doesn't exist over there .. i at least won't be that big looser .. like atheists and agnostics .. unless they realize the truth before death, they will definitely swallow their EGO in HELL where is no longer sorry or return ..

I'm an agnostic, and while I'm not perfect I don't think I'm a very BAD agnostic. So...I see it this way. If God exists and he wants to send me to hell for being perfectly reasonable and questioning an unreasonable religion for which there is hardly insurmountable evidence, then fine. I don't want to hang around with that kind of God anyway.

Thomas said to him, "Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?"
6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
7 If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him."
8 Philip said, "Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us."
9 Jesus answered: "Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'?
10 Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work.
11 Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves.
12 I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.
13 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father.
14 You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.

There is no such thing as Good Agnostic/Atheist - you are either serving God or your own selfish ideals.
The Bhagavad-Gita explains the difference between good and bad actions and divine or demoniac behaviour (check it out at www.asitis.com). The Gita also explains about heaven and hell.
You should check out for yourself - the word of God rather than someone else's opinions.
