According to what I believe you can only enter the kingdom of God (heaven) through the son (Jesus). you can not enter heaven no matter how good you are. Just 1 sin out weighs any good deed you do. That's why we need some one to wash away our sins, to take the punishment that we deserved. That's what Jesus did for us. He was the only perfect man (b/c he was also God) that could take away sin, and take our punishment. His death and Resurrection is sufficient to wash all our sins away. It is a gift from God. But like every gift, you have to receive. Only if you receive this gift can you enter Heaven.

It's as likely as anyone else going. Assuming there is a god who made us all he made us all begin without theism. It's hard to make an argument that we shouldn't stay that way until he changes us.
No religion can claim to truly know what god wants because they all contradict each other. Perhaps if there is a god then what he wants is for us to wait for him to tell us what he wants. And the only people waiting for proof only from god are atheists.
So perhaps it's not only possible that atheists will go to heaven it can be argued that only atheists will go to heaven.

If heaven exists, I certainly hope so! I think god, being infinitely wise and understanding, would know why we chose not to believe. As far as I'm concerned, atheists are justified in our lack of belief. Any omniscient god would realize that.

I am a good person but I will not go to a heaven that does not exist.

Well first off, you can't be an Atheist and believe in the Christian Heaven.
It sounds like your not really sure about what you believe in.
An Atheist believes in nothing...so you need to determine what it is you believe in first.
Good Atheist? You sound more Christian then atheist my friend.
Make up you mind.
Blessings,

I liked seahock's answer. And Christian's please remember that this question is God's domain only. The true answer is if he wants to, yes. I know we don't think thats very likely but thats not the same thing. and don't turn people off by telling them they're going to hell (see the second sentence). If you held a gun to my head and told me to be your friend, I might fake it but inside I'd hate and fear you. And the guy who spoke about Mother Theresa are you nuts? You are displaying ignorance of her basic beliefs and showing your bigotry against Catholics.

Atheists don't belive in heaven so it is an irrelevent question.

A "good" Atheist would not believe in such a place. So...no.

No, nobody will. Heaven is a fictional place.

Of course, God craves intelligent conversation.
