Will an atheist go to heaven or hell?
Or let's say is it possible an atheist end up in heaven?
I'm interested in knowing your view concerning this, any kind of view is welcome, be it logical or religious view.
Thank you.

Acts 4:12 says; "And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved."

Mark 16:16; "He who has believed and been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned."
Looking at these two verses from the Bible especially Mark 16:16, only the believer in Christ shall make heaven, an atheist is an unbeliever.

Atheists would be judged like others, no matter what your religion is, whether you believed or not, you'd be judged by how good or how evil you were during your days on earth. That's if there's truly a hell or heaven to begin with.

Why should they be condemned to hell?
Because they don't believe in God?
I don't think God is like that, you don't believe in me that I can do something or I did something shouldn't make me punish you. If I punish you in that case, how fair is that?
Criteria for heaven isn't religion or believing in God. If you believe, it's good for you but the criteria for heaven is keeping the law and commandments in place.

You would be surprised some atheists will make heaven before many so called believers.

How you people judge amazes me when it clearly stated in your scripture that it's not your right to judge.
If they make heaven, tell God you disagree and push them into hell with your own hands instead.

The idea of hell is just to guide human behaviour. Everyone will die and end up in the same place, we all have our purpose in life. My take.

An atheist who tries as much as possible to acquire knowledge about God but can't just get something reasonable enough to convince him - that's one type of atheist.

An atheist who do not bother to acquire knowledge, who just wake up, sees everything is going well with him and doesn't see any reason to learn about God or worship God - that's the second type of atheist.

An atheist who acquires knowledge or at one point in time get convinced there's God and he is worthy of worship but refuses to believe in God and insist on following the atheistic path- is the third type of atheist.

The first type of atheist mentioned above, if they live a life filled with good deeds will most likely make heaven. I'm not in anyway saying others can not as well make heaven, they can, only God has the final say.
Below is a video of a scholar analysing the possibilities of an atheist making heaven.
The speaker is Hassan bin Farhan Al-Maliki

Atheists will make heaven more than many judgemental religious people.
