Although Confucius writes about Heaven this should not be confused with Christian ideas of an afterlife or place where God lives. He uses the term to mean something like 'the Universe' or 'the balance of Nature'.

Confucius was very practical, and said that there was no point in speculating about things that nobody can know anything about - the prime example of this being what happens after death. So, Confucianists who follow the teachings of Confucius have no doctrine on the matter other than 'who knows?'

In practice, Confucius and Confucianism has also become blended into the many varieties and cross-overs of Buddhism and Taoism that have sprung up around Asia, where there are many different beliefs, none of which I feel confident in stating.

They don't exactly believe in heaven but believe in universe and the balance of nature
