Many of them do really good works and I think our kind and loving God will let them into Heaven anyway because they do good things in the spirit of Christian values. For example, they sponsored my recent African condom drive by sky diving for charity and doing sponsored starve activities in solidarity with AIDS victims purely out of a sense of goodness. I respect that.

An intelligent and thaughtful answer. Charity is really important. Even through I'm a student I give away money, chlothes I can spare, shoes and much more to eg. the catasthrophy in the filippines, war in syria or to areas in Africa. I also do avoid big, evil corporations that pay very low wages, such as Ryan Air..
And I'm an atheist. I do respect your beliefs and I'm currently studying to become a teacher in religion in Sweden. You see, in our community we do not teach christianity per se, we teach it alongside other religions such as judaism.
I'm honored to be a part of this internet community - to learn from you, about your faith, and your thoughts.
But please, try not to hate ateists..
