This is actually a really good question... and i think the answer will differ among those who actually believe and those who are unbelievers.
On the core beliefs of those who are believers, it is that God first divides those who are believers and those who are not believers... And the believer will always (even though he might sin more than a non-believer) be loved more than a non-believer... but he/she will still be judged for his actions.
See, a non-believer (in the believers point of view, which I am, so it kinda depends on your own personal beliefs) cannot go to heaven... whereas a believer, IF God will forgive his sins, will go to heaven.
Nowww... you intelligently used the word "skeptic" instead of unbeliever so this raises a lot of questions and based on those answers you would have to resort to religious jurisprudence... like if the person is honestly searching about God, not just somebody who doesn't care, and dies during his search, he (in most religions I believe) will die as if he were a believer.
There's actually a story about this, i will just give you the jist of it. An unbeliever is a very good person, but doesn't believe in God (or believes in multiple Gods) and he helps others and gives to orphans and all of that. When he dies tho, God sticks to his word and doesn't allow him paradise and sends him to hell, BUT.... God orders the fire to not harm him and sends him cool water and food from the heavens. So, he wont actually be one who will rest in heaven, but will not really be tormented in hell.
Hope this helped, i know it was long but the question was too good.... anyways, email me or anything if you would like to talk more because i'm myself interested in these sort of topics.

A skeptic. No doubt about it. A lying believer is a hypocrite. God does not like hypocrites. Jesus condemned Pharisees because they did not practise what they preach. God is a God of truth and love. He is merciful to those who seek him.

Honesty over lying - Hmmm, unless GOD is testing people which is why I can't understand GOD. GOD is too complicated. I am only human, while GOD knows all the interwoven threads of every ones lives.
How do we react to a liar? or to the honest person is probably what GOD is looking at. ????????

I think if there is a God, he'd understand the skeptics....and be ashamed of the liars.

Liars can be forgiven, but being skeptical of God shows very little faith.

God does no longer separate Himself from human beings, human beings separate themselves from God. God is often forgiving if the guy repents for his or her sins, it rather is God's unconditional love. And God does no longer condemn human beings, human beings condemn themselves via their sins. For sins get rid of human beings from God's love and mercy. Even those that don't be attentive to of Christ Jesus, His Gospel or His Church can come across one in each and every of those salvation after earthly death. a individual that does no longer have the present of the Holy Spirit which does save human beings can no longer enter the dominion of heaven. it rather is a call for to be baptized in Christ's death to get carry of this holiness, yet to have information of this reality and carry contempt Christ's sacrifice there is not any salvation. yet people who don't be attentive to of His Gospel and stay their lives in accordance to His Gospel would be sent to Limbo (Bosom of Abraham) a place this is the outermost circle of Hell is of organic happiness. and those souls of the virtuous Nonbelievers whom are in Limbo get carry of no punishment and look ahead to Christ Jesus on the day of the suitable Judgment.
