In the Christian one? None! In my beliefs: Everyone has a chance!

There are many Christian denominations.
Some believe all the faithful will go to heaven and no one will be left on earth. Others believe some will go to heaven and they will rule over the people on earth.
The Bible speaks of eternal life, and those with the heavenly hope.
The word heaven has different meanings in the Bible. One meaning is government.
The Bible speaks of a new heaven and a new earth. Here heaven means governments. One Scripture we can discern this from is 2Peter3:5, which speaks of a time when the 'heavens' were flooded like the earth. This did not mean the sky, or where God lives.
The bottom line is, if you repent, the Bible says you can live forever in a Paradise earth. If you do not repent, you may become a daisy.

The truth is if you don't believe in God than you can forget about heaven b/c you have to ask God to forgive you and you have to live a good christian life and then you go to heaven but with out God you're heading for hell!!!!!!!!!!!

According to the Bible- 0%
However, I bet you do believe in God.
1. If you reject coming into heaven via the way God has provided and decide to pridefully break in your own way- 0%
2. If you come to heaven via the way God provided- 100%

You believe in a "Heaven" but not a "God." How quaint. According to the Christian faith, people like myself (those without faith) are doomed to hell. Good works doesn't seem to factor in much. So no matter what a good person I am, it will never matter just because I don't believe in God. Not exactly the kind of being I want to worship.

Nil. Then again, even believing in God doesn't guarantee going to Heaven. Satan believes in God, & he won't be spending eternity there. It comes down to who or what are you going to put your faith in? Jesus tells us that the only way to the Father (God) is through Him (Jesus).
I'm more curious how you can believe in Heaven if you don't believe in God.

sorry David....if you refuse to believe in God....he will surely deny you heaven...The Father cannot help someone who does not believe in him...How could he even begin to let you in his House...if you do not believe it exists....God is basically speaking to a brick wall....He will sit at that brick wall and speak and speak and never give up through your whole life.....it is when you hear him that the brick wall will crumble and He can finally invite you to His House. Only way to god is through Christ...u think i'm a lunatic now...i know...i used to not believe.....but i also was very depressed and thinking of suicide....God save me....he hit me on the head and told me that He loves me and asked what the hell i was doin'! I woke up and i finally got it. I finally got it! The next morening i awoke and everything was crystal clear. I was no longer blind of my selfishness. I suddenly realized my life on earth was never about me. I live for you and for everyone i can possibly help.....and i do it out of love....and that love comes from the Father and only the Father. I hope you find your way...with love

Seeing is believing! When you get to Heaven and see Him, then how can you not believe?

Depends on which God.
The universe is complex and probably required a God. But which one? It seems that all cultures throughout human history have recognized the role of a Creator God.
The Creator defined by the North American Native Americans only asked that humans live in harmony with all nature. In exchange, the Creator provided plants and animals for humans to use as food, clothing, shelter, and medicine. Early Native Americans showed their respect and appreciation to the Creator by making small offerings of tobacco.
The Creator God defined by Hebrew scholars, 6000 years ago in the Middle East, was a jealous, and often cruel God. He demanded that humans make sacrifices of animal blood in order to appease Him, and set out Old Testament laws of behavior that often required the stoning-to-death of your neighbor for sins as minor as eating shell fish or working on the Sabbath. These laws remained in effect for over 4000 years until Emperor Constantine made Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire and commissioned the first Bible from a collection of Hebrew scrolls and stories of Jesus. Religious scholars of today claim that the Old Testament God decided to change his original requirements for animal sacrifice and for stoning-your-neighbor-to-death for disobeying His written laws. This God, rather than having his human scribes re-write the laws on new scrolls, he decided to have His only Son sent to earth to be tortured and murdered.
I believe there is a Creator God. I just believe that his personality is more like the compassionate Creator God of the early Native Americans. If He turns out to be the cruel Middle Eastern God, and He throws me in Hell for thinking He is more loving than He really is, then I’m willing to accept with that fate.

0%, Only Believers in Christ go to heaven.

why would you want to go to heaven? why would you even believe in heaven?
If you believe in heaven but not God then I think you need to reassess your beliefs cause something is not lining up.
