As an atheist, I believe in nonexistence after death. I don't fear it, because I was nonexistent before I was conceived and it wasn't bad...it was nothing.

Heaven is eternal life with God; communion of life and love with the Trinity and all the blessed.
Heaven is the state of supreme and definitive happiness, the goal of the deepest longings of humanity.
+ Heaven vs. Hell +
A holy man was having a conversation with the Lord one day and said, "Lord, I would like to know what Heaven and Hell are like." The Lord led the holy man to two doors. He opened one of the doors and the holy man looked in. In the middle of the room was a large round table. In the middle of the table was a large pot of stew which smelled delicious and made the holy man's mouth water.
The people sitting around the table were thin and sickly. They appeared to be famished. They were holding spoons with very long handles that were strapped to their arms and each found it possible to reach into the pot of stew and take a spoonful, but because the handle was longer than their arms, they could not get the spoons back into their mouths. The holy man shuddered at the sight of their misery and suffering. The Lord said, "You have seen Hell."
They went to the next room and opened the door. It was exactly the same as the first one. There was the large round table with the large pot of stew which made the holy man's mouth water. The people were equipped with the same long-handled spoons, but here the people were well nourished and plump, laughing and talking.
The holy man said, "I don't understand."
"It is simple" said the Lord, "it requires but one skill. You see, they have learned to feed each other, while the greedy think only of themselves."
With love in Christ.

If I do understand your question... We don't know. We don't know who is the God or if there is Heaven/Hell or a Nirvana or what. But for those who have faith will believe what they will. I believe that there is a (one) God, Jesus is his son, he died and raised again, I believe in Heaven/Hell. If I am right, than yes God does look over everyone. And yes, everyone who isn't a Christian goes to Hell. Period

As Jesus said to the thief on the other cross " Today thou will be with me in paradise ".
