I do but not in the same context as traditional christianity. I think heaven is progression and living in the presence of God and that hell is more of a state of being stuck and living outside the presence of God.
I dont think there is an eternal suffering hell where the evil nonbelievers go.
I think everyone will be content where they are at, but they will know that because of their own choices and actions they no longer have the ability to progress on or learn all that God has to teach us. Heaven is gaining all that knowledge of God.

Both because heaven and hell are spoken in the holy books Torakh,Bible and Qur'an.God created anything in pair such as young and old,live and dead,good and bad,ugly and beautiful/handsome,night and day,male and female,etc.Be
sides that it is not fair If God only created heaven or hell.Heaven is a place for good humans after death and hell is a place for bad humans after death..Life after death is eternal and life on this earth is very short. like a show only.Heaven is a reward for person who always obey to God's instructions and prohibitions as stated in the holy book.

Heaven : place where God and the angels dwell; home of the righteous after death; paradise, bliss, utter happiness; sky, firmament
Hell : place of punishment and torture where the wicked are sent after their death; misery, torment
Purgatory : place of purification, place where one's sins are absolved
now lets think :
1- If god wrote our stories why does he punish us for the sins in them !
2- The Theory of Evolution has many evidences and it happens everyday, like the HIV which evolved in 1981 !! just google EVOLUTION !!
3- I cant believe that the same god who endowed us with reason wants us to follow one of the religions without proofs, and he who chooses the right religion will win !
4-Why would a loving god put me in a place where i will be tortured in flames and pain and suffer FOREVER !!, only because I have choosen the wrong religion !
5- there is no medium choices for God, its either heaven or hell, if you made one sin or a million you will have the same judgement, justice ?!
Whatsoever the tortures of hell, I think the boredom of heaven will be even worse !
even the teachers in our school makes fun of Hell-Heaven mythology !
Our precursors curiosity of the world around them and the injustice forced them to create the god who will balance the scale after we die !
In short, Heaven is like Hell ....... Does NOT exist !

Neither. Heaven and Hell, I think, are more states of being than actual places. You're going through a hard time? It's Hell, isn't it? Everything's going your way? There's Heaven for ya. Heaven and Hell are what you make of your life. Good vs. bad and how you perceive each pole.
