There are 3 possibilities:
1) God is omniscient, just, and benevolent. In this case I have nothing to worry about because God will make his decision based on our actions in life instead of worrying about petty things such as our belief in ancient texts or the divinity of certain humans.
2) God isn't omniscient, just, and benevolent. In this case, I really don't care what his opinion is. If such a flawed being decides to punish me with eternal hell, it would be preferable to being rewarded with eternal heaven because I would prefer not to spend anytime at all in the presence of such an evil deity.
3) God has the characteristics attributed to him by Christianity, Judaism, and/or Islam. In this case, please see #2 above.

I do not know exactly how the atheists will react, but I can assure you that they will stand in the same boat as the rest of the people who have failed to believe in Jesus Christ; and by that I mean that they will be cast into the lake of fire, or hell, just as every lost person will do. There will be nothing that they can say or do, which will ever be able to change their eternal destiny. For if a person does not believe and accept Jesus Christ as their personal Savior before He returns to rapture away the Church, they will all be left here on this earth to go through the horrible pain and suffering of the Tribulation Period. And then they will still have the opportunity to get saved from their sins, but they will be more suffering than has ever been imagined. And if the atheists still refuse to believe in Jesus Christ, or in God, then their next thing to look forward to, will be the judgment of God; which will be eternity in the lake of fire.

If god become actual and if heaven and all that existed, then i'm particular god does no longer close the doorways of heaven in basic terms because atheists chosen to no longer position self assurance in him at the same time as they lived in the international. i imagine he might want to decide you on the way you lived your existence extremely then believing in him (which isn't a huge deal). in basic terms because Atheist do not position self assurance in god, doesn't propose they're the evil of this international and could flow to hell. i does no longer be shocked if god extremely despatched each and each of the loopy judemental Christians to hell.

Respect the beliefs of others as you would want yours to be respected... you do not know if there is a God, if God judges, or if Atheists are "wrong" these are all beliefs... and unless you have died you do not know

I'll answer this question exactly the same way that I answered one that asked (paraphrase) "Why are atheists so arrogant, why don't they try praying to see if christianity is right?"
I'm arrogant because I'm right.
Long story short: I used to be a christian. I started doubting. This troubled me, so I spent a year of praying and studying the bible. I spent many nights crying and begging god to help me become closer to him and to reveal himself to me in his word.
He did neither.
If I am wrong and god exists, and he still wants to sentence me to an eternity in hell when I held up my end of the bargain and he didn't, so be it. But at this point, I have no reason to believe he does.

I'll flip him the bird and go down laughing, dummy! I would rather spend an eternity in hell than to cower at the last minute to someone who has done nothing more than entertain himself with the torment of the human race!

IF, and that's a big IF, that would happen, they would feel almost as silly as someone who is at Level 0 on Yahoo! Answers. *nudge nudge*
