Frederich Nietzsche once stated that God is dead. He also predicted that the Bible would be extinct in the world within 50 years, while he was alive. Well he's been dead a long time now; and not only is the Bible still prevalent everywhere in the world, the World Bible society purchased Nietzsche's home after his death and used it to print Bibles in numerous different languages and shipped them all over the world. They may still do so. Who says God doesn't have a sense of humour? A tree is known by its fruit. If a philosopher has repented and received Jesus Christ as Saviour then that philosopher will be with God. If, like Nietzsche, they are obviously in rebellion against God then they will be judged accordingly by God.

I'm a believer ... but others would expect me to put a label to my belief .. I do that only when others need a label to view me with ... so, yes, I'm a Christian, sigh....
If I wear a scarf when I'm holidaying in some countries in Mid East, would you call me a Muslim?
If I went to breakfast prayer with Bush, would you call me a political Christian?
If I went to a philosopher and I asked him, "do you ever do anything mischievous or do you ever have any fun where you let down your 'hair' completely? ", you would call me an atheist or theist?
I'm in no position to know what God will do with philsophers. But I would ask them, "so do you consider yourself all-knowing?"

It depends on whether or not they were faithful to God.
There have been philosophers of all stripes--anywhere from the most ardent Christians to the most atheistic nihilists.
Philosophy does not preclude faith.
So, to answer your question plainly: God will bring them to account as he will everyone else. There will be no special treatment.

"It has been believed heretofore in the world that there is one devil that presides over the hells; that he was created an angel of light; but having become rebellious he was cast down with his crew into hell. This belief has prevailed because the devil and satan, and also lucifer, are mentioned by name in the Word, and the Word in those places has been understood according to the sense of the letter. But by "devil" and "satan" there hell is meant, "devil" meaning the hell that is behind, where the worst dwell, who are called evil genii; and "satan" the hell that is in front, where the less wicked dwell, who are called evil spirits; and "lucifer" those that belong to Babel, or Babylon, who would extend their dominion even into heaven. That there is no one devil to whom the hells are subject is evident also from this, that all who are in the hells, like all who are in the heavens, are from the human race (see n. 311-317); and that those who have gone there from the beginning of creation to this time amount to myriads of myriads, and every one of them is a devil in accord with his opposition to the Divine while he lived in the world" (Heaven and Hell n. 544).

Spank them and take their birthday away? What CAN he do with them, as they can philosophically prove he doesn't exist?
