he knew there would be atheists. so why are atheists not part of his grand scheme. and why shouldn't we automatically be admitted into heaven. according to that logic, everyone will be admitted into heaven, even the worst of the worst because they are part of the ultimate plan.
please do not quote bible scriptures. I'm looking for a real answers.

who says they are not?
but the most evil I dont think. A person always has the ability to chose his path to a degree. No one made Hitler commit genocide. For those rare few I think that they will simply cease to exist.
I cannot belive though a benevolent Creator would punish a person just because of a religious belief.

God gave you free will. That's the right to choose. And who said that Atheists were not part of the grand scheme? And if you were automatically admitted into heaven what would be the point of life on Earth?

All humans are a part of His grand scheme. But I won't debate the issue of Heaven. I do not believe Heaven is a place. I believe it's a "state".

Actually everyone has the free will to decide for him or herself if they choose to go to Heaven or Hell. You want real answers but you don't want Bible quotes. The real answers you are asking for are found in the Bible and only in the Bible, read John 3:16 -3:21, Romans 5, any of the Gospels. It is God's will that none should perish but he loves you and me enough to allow us free will to choose our own fate. He has given us all a way to avoid Hell all anyone has to do is accept His one and only way.

Minor flaw in your logics. You seem to think that KNOWING something and PLANNING something are the same thing. I can know that at some point in their life, one of my kids is going to run into the road without looking first. It is human nature and everyone does it at some point in their life. But I certainly never PLANNED for my child to run into the road. In fact I spend a lot of time warn them against it. When they finally do, it would not be my PLAN for them.
Same with God. He KNOWS everything. But He does not PLAN everything. Rather much of what God does is to plan around what people are doing. Humans makes there own choices. They decide to believe or not to believe. God can warn, lecture, threaten, and whatever. But in the end each person makes their own choice.
KNOW something and PLANNING it are two very different things.

Everybody will be allowed into the kingdom of heaven once they are implanted with the nanochips that control their thoughts and actions--then we will all be perfect

Because God is a petty insecure guy that can't stands people that doubt his abilities.
He is unjust, immoral, a racial ethnic cleanser and he is darn proud of it.
