Depends on what you mean by heaven. If you think of just some blissful afterlife, then it's just wishful thinking. It doesn't exist.

However, the Bible does give us confidence in the continuation of life after death, but there are two possibilities: an undesirable one (hell) in which we are cut off from God and all the good things he has to offer; and a desirable one (heaven), where people will live in full submission to God and thereby in harmony with each other.

I wouldn't dismiss what the Bible tells us. AFAIK it's the only book that seriously addresses all the problems of mankind: evil, death, suffering, conflict. It does not reveal all the answers, but it shows the best way and promises the best outcome. For this reason, I believe it has a lot of credibility.

Other religions say that if you do this or do that it will earn your way into heaven (or some equivalent blissful state). However, what gives the Bible its credibility is that it uniquely gives God the supreme control over your destiny. It humbles you to your knees and moves you to call out to God for mercy an forgiveness.

For those who say there is no God or no afterlife--how do you know better? You're just avoiding the issue of God's demand on you to do the right thing by saying it's not true. That too is wishful thinking.

The world is in a mess because we have rejected the rule of God in our lives. The solution is to take up God's offer of forgiveness and to change the way we live, putting God first and following his commandments. If we continue living alienated from God in this life, then that will continue in the afterlife. However, if we choose to turn to God, then that will continue in the afterlife.

So this is the basics of what heaven is: living in submission to God, and therefore following his commandments, and therefore living harmoniously with the world and each other. Now the Bible tells us more, that God will renew the world, so suffering and frustration and corruption and death will all end. But people often think of those benefits without looking at the fundamentals.

Yes, heaven exists and not just heaven hell also. They are real and it doesn't matter whether you are religious or not cos religion cannot get you to heaven. You need to have faith in Jesus Christ and accept Him as Saviour and Lord and repent of your sins then you can go to heaven. You need to be born again not be religious.

Following the law or works of the law will not get you saved. If you want to follow the law, you must keep all I repeat ALL of the ten commandments. Have you lied before? Have you had sexual sin before? Have you been greedy before? And it's not just the plain law but Jesus brought the law to a higher standard. Being angry with someone is murder, lusting for a woman is already committing adultery etc etc. So no one can fulfill the law or ten commandments and we all stand condemned before God unless we believe in Jesus' sacrifice on the Cross and plead His blood to cleanse us of all our sins. Do you have sin? Sure you have to ask yourself, so repent and believe before He raptures us out or you die.

I believe Heaven exists, and if you're not religious I think you will go to a good place if you're a good person. My religion believes people only have to follow the 7 Noachide Laws to get into Paradise if you're not Jewish, which are:

1. Do not murder.
2. Do not steal.
3. Do not worship false gods.
4. Do not be sexually immoral.
5. Do not eat a limb removed from a live animal.
6. Do not curse God.
7. Set up courts and bring offenders to justice.

If you do these you're fine, I think.

Death is inevitable. The thief on the cross knew when his would occur, but we can not predict our own. After his death, the crucified criminal went to live in paradise with Jesus. Some of us will also live eternally in God's presence. But others will experience everlasting torment, forever separated from Him.
If we receive Jesus as our Savior, our penalty for sin is paid. We are adopted into God's family, and Heaven is our eternal home. If we reject Jesus, we remain alienated from the Lord and under condemnation for our sin. We are destined to experience eternal judgment. God won't accept any of man's excuses because there is no acceptable defense for unbelief. (Acts 4:12)
Become part of God's family today. Acknowledge your sinfulness, and express your faith in these words:
"God, I have sinned against You. (Romans 3:23) I've followed my own way and refused to give You the right to rule in my life. (Romans 3:10-12) I recognize I am separated from You and cannot rescue myself. I do believe that Jesus Christ is Your Son. I accept the truth of the Scriptures? that His death on the cross paid my sin-debt in full. (1 Corinthians 15:3-4) And I ask You to forgive me of my sins. (1 John 1:9) By faith, I receive You, Lord Jesus, as my personal Savior from this moment on."
If you just spoke those words to God, then, like the thief on the cross, you have received salvation? a gift of God's grace. The heavenly Father welcomes every person who comes to Him through His Son, regardless of background, age, or current situation. Through Jesus, the right to enter paradise is yours!

Heaven is just make belief, for people that can not face the fact that dead is dead, nobody ever came back and told us about it. If people really believed it was great to go to heaven nobody would mourn a dead of a loved one, but be happy for them to go to heaven

Hell is probably way better. If every thing in heaven is perfect than your life would suck. No conflict, what would you do all day?

But I don't believe in a heaven or hell, you end up in the ground. Get over it.

it's not about being religious, it about what you believe in, where your faith is.
