Will a good atheist go to heaven?

No. And a ‘bad christian’ won’t either.

To get into heaven, you have to have two things: Baptism into Christ’s death, and faith that he has taken away your sin.

Paul also writes that ‘faith without deeds is meaningless.” There are many famous parables of fruit/fig trees that have bad fruit or no fruit, even though they look healthy. These trees are hypocrites, and will be thrown into the fire, according to the parables.

The moral is, you can love God all you want, but if you make absolutely no effort to try to live in a Christ-like manner, you might as well not be a Christian at all.
