Heaven?

Of course not. As long as the bad Chrisitan says "sorry" before he dies he'll be given a pass. The good atheist can do everything right throughout his life and still get rejected because he doesn't agree with the Christians. Sounds like a great place to be doesn't it? But since I don't believe in god or heaven, it doesn't really apply to me.

Although I do not believe heaven exists, if it did, I think that the good people would go there, regardless of religion.

The catholic answer would be that yes,
Roman Catholic interpretation
The Church's understanding of the significance of the phrase :"Outside the Church there is no salvation" is expressed in its Catechism of the Catholic Church,846-848, 851 as follows:
"Outside the Church there is no salvation" - How are we to understand this affirmation, often repeated by the Church Fathers? Re-formulated positively, it means that all salvation comes from Christ the Head through the Church which is his Body:
"Basing itself on Scripture and Tradition, the Council teaches that the Church, a pilgrim now on earth, is necessary for salvation: the one Christ is the mediator and the way of salvation; he is present to us in his body which is the Church. He himself explicitly asserted the necessity of faith and Baptism, and thereby affirmed at the same time the necessity of the Church which men enter through Baptism as through a door. Hence they could not be saved who, knowing that the Catholic Church was founded as necessary by God through Christ, would refuse either to enter it or to remain in it" (Second Vatican Council, Lumen Gentium, 14).
This affirmation is not aimed at those who, through no fault of their own, do not know Christ and his Church:
"Those who, through no fault of their own, do not know the Gospel of Christ or his Church, but who nevertheless seek God with a sincere heart, and, moved by grace, try in their actions to do his will as they know it through the dictates of their conscience — those too may achieve eternal salvation" (Second Vatican Council, Lumen Gentium, 16).

good question.
i think the idea is that,
even if you aren't the best christian,
you can still go to heaven,
just because you believe in god.
not that i really agree with that whole idea,
but that's my general understanding.

Yes, I believe so. We will be judged for our life not by what religion we were.

since there is no heaven or hell, it wouldn't make the slightest bit of difference.

I sincerely just wish to rot in my grave, and cease to exist when I'm dead and gone.

No, because there is no such place, and no part of you that can survive your physical death anyway.
