The bible says we will:
2 Corinthians 5New Living Translation (NLT)
New Bodies
5 For we know that when this earthly tent we live in is taken down (that is, when we die and leave this earthly body), we will have a house in heaven, an eternal body made for us by God himself and not by human hands. 2 We grow weary in our present bodies, and we long to put on our heavenly bodies like new clothing. 3 For we will put on heavenly bodies; we will not be spirits without bodies.[a] 4 While we live in these earthly bodies, we groan and sigh, but it’s not that we want to die and get rid of these bodies that clothe us. Rather, we want to put on our new bodies so that these dying bodies will be swallowed up by life.
You've chosen to believe Paul's claim, which you have no way of knowing to be true -- all on the alleged authority of the Bible, which you presume is real based on a few scattered verses within the book itself, making such claims. You've heard it before: the Bible is the claim, not the evidence.
As I said, you have a peculiar way of using (and abusing) the word 'know'.

Yeah. That's one reason why you're not a christian. We must put God's wishes before our own, but it brings me peace. Of course, most of my wishes are also his.

What are all the atheists' claims about the nature of heaven and hell in this thread based on?

SECOND QUESTION. Is it just to doom a person for eternal agony because they experienced certain amount of pleasant moments? Or grand eternal happiness for a dozen years of work for the common good? Is there justice in those things?
No, there isn't justice in those things. As the bible doesn't teach that...why do you ask?

Mostly their own fantasies.

Way to evade the point! As for atheists' claims about the nature of heaven and hell, I suppose they base it on their reading (correct or otherwise) of the Bible. Personally, since I don't believe in either, it's a moot point for me and I give less than a shit.

When Hitler died, he went to Hell and met Satan. Satan told him that he was impressed with his actions and took Hitler to the Lake of Fire for a demonstration.
"Watch this" said Satan. He loaded 100 Jews into the Lake of Fire incinerator and pulled the level. Hitler was very excited and asked Satan if he could try.
"Sure" says Satan. This time, he loaded 99 Jews and 1 Italian. Hitler asked, "Why the Italian?"
Satan replied, "Need 1 to grease the pan".

What a pleasant coincidence that must be. Tell me, does "god" also like what you like, hate what you hate, and hold whatever opinions you may hold on any given issue?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Why are atheists always wanting to know or talk about hell? Particularly, what the Bible has to say about it?
Islam has killed millions in the last decade, lets focus all attention on Christianity!
