Non-Christians have about a snowball's chance in Hell of getting into Heaven. Of course the same can be said for Christians, Muslims, Jews, and so on. The concept of "Heaven" is fully contrived by man to quell the universal and natural fear of death and the unknown. In turn, entire societies are threatened with the prospect of not being allowed into Heaven, or even worse, being damned to "Hell", if they don't subscribe to a particular brand of dogma. In this sense the concept of Heaven is then used to control the masses.

Believers will always point to The Bible as proof that Heaven exists, but this holds about as much weight as trying to use The Lord of the Rings Trilogy to prove dragons and hobbits are real. The same Christian Bible that supposedly proves there is a Heaven would also have us believe that humans didn't evolve, but rather crawled out of the mud one day at the will of a mystical creator. The Bible would have us believe a man named Noah was able to fit 2 specimens of every land dwelling creature on Earth into one big boat. The Bible would have us believe that the son of an all powerful mystical creator was able to turn water into wine and part the Red Sea. A logical mind should conclude that none of these things ever happened because such occurrences would be outside the realm of reasonable possibility. Put simply, they are utterly improbable, as is the existence of Heaven.

Most people will say they have simple faith that these things did indeed occur. That's fine, but faith isn't based on logic in anyway, shape, or form. Faith is simply defined by a desire to believe. What we want to believe is often at direct odds with the truth. Because we have no logical reason to believe "Heaven" exists, common sense should tell us no one is going there. On the bright side, we don't need to sweat "Hell" either.
