Sure, why not? The following people (atheists) will be there:
Ben Franklin
Noam Chomsky
Marilyn Manson
Ayn Rand
Albert Camus
Sigmund Freud
George Clooney
Frank Zappa
H.P. Lovecraft
Both Watson and Crick
Douglas Adams
Bill Gates
Dave Barry
Albert Einstein
... and many more!
Sounds great to me.

No, I don't believe in it, I know it may never have occurred to you, but why would anyone want their or expect the reward of Heaven (pie in the sky, to be the determining factor in the way they live their life, rather than being good decent people because its the right thing to be.
Most who are not Christian are just as moral, often less judgmental, less prejudiced and are more accepting of those different than them. Doesn't say much for a lot of folks who preach hell fire at others , at all!

Sara... there is no such thing as hell as a place...
The Bible does not mention hell as a place...
But rather uses it to predict an outcome...
God is fair... and no one is judged until the end times...
This is clearly stated throughout the New Testament and Revelation.
And after all is said and done, when the non-believers still chose to not believe they are "thrown into the lake of fire."
Which means, they do not exist anymore.
There is no eternal damnation, or eternal suffering.
It is absurd and not the way a true, fair God would handle things.
They just won't exist.
If you want to know where we go until then, we go to Sheol. All souls wait there to be judged at the end.
Believers on one side, non-believers on the other... They are devided until Christ reigns again... and everyone gets another chance to believe...
Didn't you wonder why some people could go to hell even though they never heard about God??
That's because they can't! Its unfair and God is fair.
Everyone gets 2 chances. Read your Bible and don't listen to Christians who don't or modern Churches/Christians that teach PAGAN principles.

Depends. If its the South Park hell where you attend Bar B Ques and Satan leads everyone in singing "We're Going to the Hookie Lau" with George Burns and Walter Matthau, I'm in.

No. It is called eternal torment for the following reasons:
1) It is separation in the fullest from God. At least on earth we can see all the wonderful things He does.
2) It is physically tormenting. You will literally be burning.
I would much rather be with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in heaven forever, where the glory of God will shine down like the sun upon His chosen children.

If the bible was accurate, hell is a far better place than heaven.
The bible is a very tricky book and what people usually claim is heaven is really hell. And, vice versa.

It's not a place for choosing. It's a place for not choosing.
I imagine there will be lot's of Muslim's there, and very few virgins.

I dont find sitting in an earthly courtroom being sentenced paticularly inviting, comforting, or prosperous. How much more so a Heavenly courtroom with eternal consequences?!?!?!?!

No heaven is much nicer... I'd rather meet the Father who loves me not the beast who wants to make me miserable and die a thousand deaths
