If God is so narrow-minded, then going to Heaven might not be much fun. Why should you worry about what happens after death? The most important thing, regardless of the probability of you going to Heaven, is that you live your life as a good person and you leave the world a slightly better place for people around you.

Understand the true meaning and purport of Heaven and all your queries would automatically dissolve.
Heaven (aka Swarga in Hinduism) is a place in the mighty Cosmos wherein the souls rest in peace until they get to manifest a body on Mother Earth. But there is one condition attached. Any soul can only go to Heaven provided there is a positive balance of karma in hand.
All souls with a negative balance of karma go to hell (aka Naraka in Hinduism).
For every soul (aka Atman in Hinduism) at any point of time there are three abodes available. Either manifest a body on Mother Earth provided matching womb is available (for any soul to manifest on Mother Earth the existence of matching parents is an essential must).
If the matching parents are not available on Mother Earth then it is imperative that the soul would have to rest either in Heaven or hell based on the balance of karma of the earlier manifestations.
And what is karma? Right from the first manifestation the closing balance of any life form is transferred to the next manifestation through the process of karma. It is only karma which keeps the system going. In absence of karma the complete existence of Cosmos would come to a halt.
Does this mean that the reincarnation and the rebirth theory are correct... yes, they are hundred percent correct. Every human being started his first journey as an amoeba (single cell formation), then evolved into insect life, animal life and finally gained the form of a human being.
In all these stages the system of Heaven and hell plays role only after one has manifested the form of a human being... the last in the chain of manifestations.
We need to remember here that it is not Heaven that one would want to go but it is the kingdom of God where Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammed went. More on heaven here- http://www.godrealized.org/heaven/way_to_heaven.html

How can you say that you "don't believe in God" and then go on to say that "God created " you?
God wants you to be in heaven with Him and His love for eternity. He is a God of forgiveness . If you have not done all that God requires to get into heaven, you need to be forgiven those sins.
What you need to do now is to find out HOW you can have your sins forgiven by God. Then you won't have worry at all about going to heaven.

If you don't believe in God, why do you beleive in heaven. Are you a pagan or do you believe in other gods? But I'm not sure if you'll go to heaven. You might and you might not. You probably will but it's God who has the final say on who gets into heaven. Good day!

Christianity says that there is not one single person on Earth that is good enough to go to heaven. All have sinned. But God loves you so much, he didn't want to leave it that way. He provides a way - by paying the price of sin and taking the punishment for sin on Himself. That's why Jesus died on the cross - when He died He took upon Himself the sins of the world. Then He rose in victory over death. To be able to live eternally with God, the only thing you have to do is accept His free gift of salvation, turn away from sin. That's it. No strings attached. Once you do, Jesus promises that the Holy Spirit will be with you on this Earth as a helper and counselor.

John 3:16 - For God So Loved The World, That He Gave His Only Begotten Son, So That Whosoever Believith In Him Shall Not Perish, But Have Everlasting Life.
Gotta believe to get there. We are loved and forgiven, but will suffer the consequences if we don't believe. Good Luck!

To not believe in God is a sin against the First Commandment, 'thou shalt have no other gods than Me'
If you do not believe in the God of creation, then you are a materialist, this means you have no alternative but to attribute all the creative qualities and powers of the Supernatural God to matter and naturalistic forces. That is, you have to believe that matter created itself, the universe and everything in it including life, from nothing. So therefore your god is MATTER itself, which, of course, is a false god and amounts to idolatory. It is similar to those who worship material objects such as the sun, moon, mother earth, idols of wood and stone etc. etc.
If you break the First Commandment, you are choosing to reject God and turning your back on the Truth.
If you choose to reject God in preference for the false god of materialism, God will acknowledge and respect your free choice in the matter. Your choice to reject Him obviously includes not wishing to spend eternity with Him. So it is YOU who chooses whether or not you go to Heaven, by whether you accept or reject God.

Heaven is reserved for the righteous:
But when the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit upon his glorious throne. All the nations will be gathered in his presence, and he will separate them as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will place the sheep at his right hand and the goats at his left. ... And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous will go into eternal life."
Matthew 25:31...46
Being honest and truthful is not enough righteousness for God. The only righteousness good enough is provided by Jesus, he is willing to exchange your unrighteousness (like everyone else) for his righteousness. This is demonstrated by the parable of the wedding feast [wedding supper of the lamb - in heaven]
He said to his servants, `The wedding feast is ready, and the guests I invited aren't worthy of the honor. Now go out to the street corners and invite everyone you see.'
So the servants brought in everyone they could find, good and bad alike, and the banquet hall was filled with guests. But when the king came in to meet the guests, he noticed a man who wasn't wearing the proper clothes for a wedding. `Friend,' he asked, `how is it that you are here without wedding clothes?' And the man had no reply. Then the king said to his aides, `Bind him hand and foot and throw him out into the outer darkness, where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth.' For many are called, but few are chosen.
The wedding clothes are the robe of righteousness that Jesus provides.
They washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb and made them white. That is why they are standing in front of the throne of God, serving him day and night in his Temple. And he who sits on the throne will live among them and shelter them. They will never again be hungry or thirsty, and they will be fully protected from the scorching noontime heat. For the Lamb who stands in front of the throne will be their Shepherd. He will lead them to the springs of life-giving water. And God will wipe away all their tears.
Revelation 7:14-17
Heaven? Only by making Jesus Christ the Lord of your life.

No he wont. If you don't seek the truth in this life like you are supposed to, saying well i was honest and truthful I'm afraid is not enough. Try reading all the different faiths there are out there then if you make a judgment you don't believe in him fair enough. But he made us to praise him and to seek the true path if your excuse is you couldn't be bothered, worshiping seemed like to much trouble, well you have no one to blame but yourself not God for rejecting you, because aren't you now rejecting him? But you want him to accept you into his heaven even though you rejected him and his teachings, sorry its not that simple.
