No, and if they do, they won't believe they are there anyway, so it all works out!

No one can ever know for sure but here is my opinion.
I like the philosophy of Dante's Inferno. The more horrible the crime, the worst the punishment. All the punishments are a reflection of the crime (If you beat someone, then you are beaten). The very first circle of Hell is a placed called Limbo where unbaptized babies, aborted fetuses, and noble virtuous agnostics and atheists reside. In Limbo, there is no punishment other than you don't get into Heaven. Other than that it is paradise.
So to answer your question, Yes a good agnostic or atheist can be spared physical torture in Hell, but they still lose the big prize of not getting into Heaven. What it basically comes down to is: Would you rather work hard, act good, but not be a christian and still go to Hell, or would you rather work hard, act good, be a christian and get into Heaven?

Yes they will. The Bible says that there is only one way to The Father and that is through The Son, Jesus Christ. Without confessing you are a sinner and in need of a savior, believing that Jesus came to earth, died on the cross for your sins, was raised three days later and now sits at the right hand of God, you will not go to Heaven.
And good is a relative term. Good compared to what? The standard is Jesus and He was sinless.

Hell is complete and utter separation from God -- for eternity. Good atheists will someday find themselves in that Hell -- but so will a lot of good people who never accepted Christ as their Savior.

No, we'll join good Christians, Muslims, and everyone else. When we die, we will cease to exist, and our bodies will be reabsorbed into the earth from whence we came.
I feel very sad for those that spend their lives in fear of some supernatural torment or hell that was added to religion to simply control the masses. No heaven, no hell; life is lived once, and you should spend it in the best possible way.

There will be no Atheists or Agnostics in Hell.You get it? Think about it.
The Bible says no one is good and that all have fallen short of the Glory of God.
Furthermore, how can you expect to go to Heaven if you reject Jesus as your personal Savior?

you go to where you believe you will go. If atheists believe in hell then they could go.....but personally I don't believe in an all Omnipotent evil being or hell.

Why are you so concerned about it? Don't YOU believe that you will go no where, and just rot in the ground?
I don't believe you really believe that. You know deep in your heart that there is an eternity. Keep searching. You can find the truth and it will set you free.
