If Atheists also, go to Heaven as many Christians say these days, what is the special reward for those who truely believe, go to church every Sunday, or pray 5 times a day, as all Muslims do?

Just because someone accepts Christ as their Savior doesn't mean they are definitely going to Heaven.

No-one 'goes' anywhere.
Suppose you're at the beach and you make a nice big fancy sandcastle, complete with moat and turrets and so on. Later, the tide comes in and washes it all away - the sand gets spread around the beach and all trace of your sandcastle disappears.
Where did it go? Well, clearly the castle didn't 'go' anywhere as such - it was a temporary arrangement of grains of sand that went to make up something recognisable to us, and when the sea washed it away, it simply ceased to exist. Another day, someone else might come along and make another castle using some of the same sand that went into your castle, but the one you made is gone and can never exist again.
This is how it is with human beings - we are recognisable to ourselves and others as living organisms, but fundamentally we are temporary constructions of atoms and molecules and will one day simply cease to exist. Just as the sandcastle consists solely of the sand from which it is made, so human beings consist solely of the atoms and molecules of which we are made. When we die, our bodies will be returned to the environment to be incorporated into new living organisms, or to fall as rain, or to make the bedrock of a million years from now. We are ephemeral creatures, a brief pattern of order and complexity imposed on the raw material of the natural world. We should make the most of it, for this is all there is.

We go in the ground right next to the rest of you. Or we burn in an oven and our ashes get placed somewhere. Heaven, hell, and the bible is nothing but folklore.

I've got a reserved seat at the best bar in the netherworld and I'm buying the first round -- because you know this party won't be getting any smaller!
