some born again christians are very sure that they will go to heaven, they call out Jesus name loudly but lives a worldly life, will they go to hell just like the atheist?

If a Christian is not following the principles of Jesus, they will surely go to hell. Jesus said "Many will come saying Lord! Lord! But I cast out devils in your name, and heal the sick...but I will say I know you not."

No, the Bible says that not all who call Jesus Lord will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. If you are truly a 'born again' Christian, then the Holy Spirit will start to lead you to follow Him.

'Born Again' Christian, un Baptized Christian, anyone who asks forgiveness of there sins and accepts Jesus as their savior will go to Heaven. That's why Jesus came to earth. Everyone sins. Atheists sin. Christians sin. Everyone. The difference is, Christians, by accepting Jesus, are forgiven.

Jesus is the only Judge.
Atheists won't be judging with Him.
Romans (10)

Rev 18-22
Matt 24-25
Luke 16:19-31

A born again believer feels convicted when he does wrong, he feels deep remorse and asks for forgiveness and quits the wrong or asks for help to start eliminating it from his life. God knows his heart, if he really is born again. God is merciful and forgiving but there is not excuse to live in sin willingly and live to sin. That is for people without God and if he is born again he needs to repent.
Hell is different for everyone who goes there anyway. Your sins will be counted against you at the judgement and God is fair, you will get the fair punishment for all you did including denying Jesus.

We are not God, therefore we don't know whether that person or persons will enter the gates of the kingdom of God.
Jesus tells us that in that time there will be many say "But Lord, Lord, didn't we cast out demons in thy name, didn't we heal those in thy name.... " He turns to them and says "flee from Me, I know you not".
I think many will be surprised where they will spend eternity.
I know what you are talking about though. I have a real good friend, who proclaims to be very Christian... but the person cheats the government, lies to friends, gossips like you have never heard one gossip. Yet comes across to church goers as being a "true" Christian. The person sees fault in all but self!!!!! Claims the pastors do it, why can't the congregation?

its all about the heart. If this person truly accepted Jesus as their Savior, which only God knows, than no matter how many times he messes up, he will still enter Heaven.

YES. Jesus died for your sins. And Jesus is the ONLY ONE that is PERFECT. Its ok when you mess up, but if you are a real Christian, you dont TRY to mess up like that or lie.

If the person ACTUALLY BELIEVES that Jesus is their true savior then they will go to heaven if all the yelling is fake then they go to hell

Be careful that you don't assume you know the heart of another. I did this once in regards to a believer and God set me straight.
