A person's beliefs cannot change reality.
If we atheists are wrong, and Christians are right, then I guess we'll go to hell and suffer torments for all eternity, even if the works we did during this life were all good.
If we atheists are right, then all of us die completely when our bodies die.
Note that these are NOT the only two possibilities! There are many other possibilities. Unfortunately, there is no way using the scientific method to conduct any experiment that would demonstrate which possibilities are false. So, this is all purely a matter of belief.

EVERY person good or bad atheist or believer goes into the ground where we bury them to await their fate in the great day of the Lord. Genesis 3:19, Ecclseastis 9:5 & 6, Acts 2:34

If God were to give you the reward of going to heaven..why would there be the need of a judgement day for all mankind..you included?
If God sent you to hell when you died why would he bring you back and judge you as to whether you were going to heaven or hell?
...so there must be a holding place ...hmmm.could it be the grave?
Yes..!
everyone who has ever died except a certain few will be resurrected over the 1000 year reign of Jesus Christ in Heaven...and brought back to perfection then tempted again.
Those who refuse to learn about God will go to sleep forever. No Torture.
Those that want to be faithful worshippers of The Almighty God Jehovah will live forever in paradise here on earth.
So if this atheist who doesn't believe that God exists is resurrected from his death...Don't you think he would be awestruck?
Don't you think he would believe especially if everyone he has ever known that had died before him was standing next to him...Alive?
He would have proof positive that there truly is a God that cares for us.
So...what are you waiting for? God provides food, air, sunlight, water, and so much more to prove he is caring for you. Give him his honor now. Glory belongs to God. He wants you to live forever...He has arranged a wonderful life for you...please don't thumb your nose up at Him.

No one really knows for sure.
Science says all mass and energy in the universe must basically remain the same at all times, so your atomic order simply becomes something else. You disperse, become part fodder and part something else, maybe cosmic rays.
Hindu's say we get reincarnated no matter what.
Christians say if you don't accept Jesus you are out of luck.
Jew's say they are the chosen one and if you're not a good Jew you're out of luck.
If God is a true God, God will judge everyone on an individual basis.
Just because a person is an Atheist doesn't mean they are Satanic or they intentionally blaphem!

The Bible says that doing good isn't the criterion for getting to heaven. Perhaps anyone who desires and strives for absolute purity could make it. But the biblical criterion is recognising that, perhaps despite the fact that we may think we've lived good lives, we're still sinners in need of a saviour, and so we should accept that Jesus Christ allowed himself to be killed on a cross so he could take the punishment for our sins, and we should turn away from everything we know to be wrongdoing. I personally am thankful that getting to heaven doesn't depend on how good we've been. If the criterion for getting to heaven was being good, then people who made a sincere commitment to Christ not long before they died after having lived immoral lives would find themselves going to hell despite their latter commitment to follow him and turn away from their sins, because the number of years they had spent sinning would far exceed the amount of time they later spent doing good. Or if they'd done one thing that was very bad but then spent years regretting it, it might still outweigh all the good they'd done and be enough to get them sent to hell, particularly since no one can be entirely good and everyone does things that aren't good throughout their lives. But the love of Jesus extends to people who've spent years doing evil things, if they'll only sincerely accept him and turn away from them. The Bible does say that there will be a time when it will be too late. In several places it says that on Judgment Day people will be judged according to their actions, and those who have done good deeds will go to heaven, while people who have rejected Christ and done evil will go to hell. It also says that people who have relied on their own efforts to get to heaven and yet have rejected Christ will not get there. And it warns people who think they can rely on their own goodness to get to heaven while not admitting how sinful they really are that in fact they are not pleasing God.
He said: (Matthew Ch 25)
"When the Son of Man comes as King and all the angels with him, he will sit on his royal throne, and the people of all the nations will be gathered before him. Then he will divide them into two groups, just as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the righteous people at his right and the others at his left.
"Then the King will say to the people on his right, "Come, you that are blessed by my Father! Come and possess the kingdom which has been prepared for you ever since the creation of the world. I was hungry and you fed me, thirsty and you gave me a drink; I was a stranger and you received me in your homes, naked and you clothed me; I was sick and you took care of me, in prison and you visited me.'
The righteous will then answer him, "When, Lord, did we ever see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you a drink? 38 When did we ever see you a stranger and welcome you in our homes, or naked and clothe you? 39 When did we ever see you sick or in prison, and visit you?'
"The King will reply, "I tell you, whenever you did this for one of the least important of these followers of mine, you did it for me!'"

My guess is that it is the same place as believers go. Please note that I am not saying where I think that is, in part because I'm not absolutely sure where that is. But if there is a hell, I like to think that it is reserved for a very "special few", perhaps where every man is tended to or pestered by 72 scabby, warty and leprous hags or an equally befitting "sentence". These are not really religious or scientific points of view, but just a bit of whimsical speculation and musing .

The answer you'll get depends on what a person believes, nor not in some cases. According to Christian beliefs (if they believe the word of God), he'll go to the lake of fire (hell).

He goes to stand before God and be judged.
By the way, the Bible says that every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord during judgment.
Hindsight is 20/20. It's a shame really. The atheist will FINALLY have all the proof he needs of God's existence and it will be to late to save his own soul.

I haven't given it much thought. But I think i will go in the ground.
Unless my wife has me cremated then i will probably go into a little tin on the table right next to the dog.

Hello lwc_78.. :)
The same place all will go, who do not serve the Lord our God with all of their hearts and souls..
They will go to the Lake of Fire..that was prepared not for man, but for the devil and his angels..but because of the fall of mankind, those that do not Love the Lord thy God with every part of their being, will have their part in the Lake of Fire..that is the choice that one makes, while here on this earth.. :(
This even includes born again Christians, who are not serving the Lord with a rightous heart.. :(
In Jesus Most Precious Name..
With Love..In Christ.. :)
