Do you think heaven is segregated by which religion and denomination people are? Muslims, Jews, and Christians all believe in the same God of Abraham with different versions on how to get into heaven. Denominations have different teachings on the matter also. Does it stand to reason that with all these differences heaven will have to be segregated to accommodate all?

Red S, Jesus is not God. Jesus was a mortal human being proclaimed to be the SON of God, not God himself (or herself, whichever you believe). The God of Abraham is the same god that Jews, Muslims, and Christians alike all worship.

Tremonster, WHERE have you been!!!
As for the question...Unfortunately all those religions are corrupted and the whole idea of going to heaven after death is a aspect of corruption, or better said is elementary doctrine. The different views, denominations, and topics are a clear sign of the fact that most of these religions have turned upon their first principles and much has been either removed or not known of the true essence of these movements.
You don't go to heaven you grow to heaven, all of mankind does, hence why you are here.
....
EDIT - Maybe.

If the Christians I met in the forties, fifties and before made it to heaven and still have their Bible thumping reasons for not allowing segregation and get away with it. Heaven has "Coloreds not allowed" signs all over the place. As well there is an old joke about a new soul asking Peter why all he can see is high walls and padlocked doors. Peter answers him saying,"They all want to think that they're the only ones that made it." The Big Guy actually figured out a way to give them all what they wanted.

No segregation, anyone who manages to get save will be in heavens without barriers or segregations like we built down here.
However, to get there you must know that Jesus is the only way. John 14:6.

They do not all believe in the same God. That's a huUUUGGEEE error.
Jews do not believe in Jesus as Messiah.
Neither does Islam. The key person here is a Second Adam: JESUS...who corrects the fall of the first Adam. Without faith in Him as God and Center...there is no salvation.
Therefore, they are not going to heaven...according to my faith.

It is funny that you ask this. I was just having a very similar conversation with my cousin the other day.
My cousin, recently accepted that she is Native Canadian, (Ojibwe to be exact), I mean we always suspected the family was of native descent, but they waited 30 years to find the proof and get their Native Status.
Well, since doing this, she has also embraced the entire lifestyle and the Native spirituality with her husband the Indian Chief of their reserve.
She was talking to him about her parents (both are deceased) mother white, and father half native. .. Her husband informed her that her father is with "his" people now in heaven, and her mother is with "her" people now.
I asked her, does she mean they are not together now. And she said "they are not together". So according to native tradition they are segregated. I never really thought about it before, but that would really suck and be boring now wouldn't it?

Only those who accepted Jesus' sacrifice for our sins are going to heaven. And those who worshipped the God of Israel before Jesus was around.
