If they don't believe in God, why would they believe in hell? No one really knows what happens after death, we just each have our own beliefs.

Yes because it doesnt matter if your "Good" or "moraled" person b/c if u read ur bible it clearly states the only way to heaven is through him not through good works and morals. Cause no matter how good u are u still dont believe in the One True God...and that means hell for you.

God gave you free will. God gives you the choice to choose which path in life you will take. The path to Him or the path away from Him. Only God can judge a person and that person's heart.

Salvation has nothing to do with being "good."
It has to do with understanding that we are not good and in need of a savior.
People don't to heaven because they lived a good and moral life, they go to heaven because they believe that Jesus Christ is the savior and died for our sins. They understand the call of God to an intimate relationship. Heaven is not a reward for a good life...it is the consummation of a loving relationship.

no matter how good or moral a person is he/she does not come up to the standard of a holy God. Before I became a believer- I was known as the "good girl"- it was really hard for me to see a need for a Savior- until one day when I was 17 I realized that "being good" was according to the world's standards not Almighty Gods. When I realized that and looked at the holiness of God, I came to know that my righteousness is as filthy rags. But with Christ- He has replaced my filthy rags with His clothes of righteousness. God loves us yes, but He demands us to be holy as He is holy- and the only way that could be accomplished is by God sending His Son to pay the price that we could never pay, no matter how "good" we may seem to ourselves or the world around us.

Works are an evidence, not a means to an end. If it were works that gained salvation, how would you ever know there were enough? Who would set the arbitrary line? Would you ever feel secure in your walk?
Salvation via works is an absolutely false concept. How will you EVER know that you have done enough good, or if it will balance out the bad?
The truth is, before you accept Jesus as Savior, none of your good deeds are taken in to account, only the sin you have committed in violation to the law. After you accept Jesus as your Savior, your sins are deleted from the record and only the good you do in the Spirit remains. (1 Cor. 3)
You cannot buy your way into heaven with tithes, keeping of traditions or rules, rituals, singing in the choir or good deeds. THAT is why Jesus had to come and die in our place.
Titus 3:5
Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us.
2 Timothy 1:9
Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began

There is only one way to heaven and that is through the finished redemptive work of Jesus Christ.
John 10:9
Jesus said, "I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture."
Acts 4:12
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Romans 5:9
Much more then, being now justified by [Jesus'] blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.

The good news is, the gift of salvation is just that--a gift--it is free. If you try to buy the gift, you will never be able to afford it, so all you need to do is accept it and say, "thank you."
Ephesians 2:8-9
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God. Not of works, lest any man should boast.

The Bible says "no one is "good" not one." We all are sinners, some of us live more moral lives than others, but all of us sin. The ONLY way to heaven is through Christ. I'm not interested in anywhere else.

no. because God accepts you for who you are and just because you don't believe now doesn't mean that after you die you wont believe.
it also depends on what your interpretation of heaven and hell are.
god gave you the choice to think for yourself so that means that he would still love you for who you are even if you don't believe in him.

according to the God that's found in the Bible, there are no 'good and moral' people, except for Jesus.
