Why would you ask that? If you're an atheist you don't believe in hell!

Answer As the original poster said, atheists don't believe that there is a hell, so to ask an atheist is meaningless. However, if you ask a theist, you'll get a different answer depending on which type of theist you ask. Fundamentalists will tell you that atheists go to hell. Catholics have even worked out which level! Other theists will tell you the opposite - that it depends on if you're a good and moral person, not what you believe. That's one of the reasons why religion looks so silly to atheists: even christians cannot agree among themselves what they believe in - and within Christianity, even catholics can't agree with other catholics. You can apply this to any sub-sect of any religion: they all disagree with the other sub-sects.

No. Atheists in general have the same moral and ethical values as do Christians and members of other religions.

Apart from religious faith, atheists do not lack values attributed to followers of religions.

Does the spirit of a non-Christian go back to God?

A:This is a question of faith, not fact. A Christian may believe either that the non-Christian will be judged on the life he or she led, going to heaven or hell as a result, or that non-Christians are destined for hell. Cardinal Pell, one of the Catholic Church's leading clergy is one whose stated view is that it is not necessary to be a Christian to go to heaven. The non-Christian will in both cases believe otherwise. Followers of other religions are reincarnated or receive whatever reward their religion prescribes, while atheists cease to exist when they die.
