I'm no expert, just a quick search..
The Vatican has quickly clarified that atheists - they believe - are still going to hell, despite Pope Francis appearing to say non-believers could be saved through Christ if they do good.
Vatican spokesman Rev. Thomas Rosica said people who know about the Catholic church “cannot be saved” if they “refuse to enter her or remain in her.”

Although the alternative view is..
"Pope Francis rocked some religious and atheist minds when he declared that everyone was redeemed through Jesus, including atheists," reported the Huffington Post.
"Pope Francis suggests atheists' good deeds get them to heaven," said the headline in Cheryl K. Chumley's piece in the Washington Times. Reportedly, the Pope confirmed that "atheists can indeed go to heaven," and this is as a result of "good deeds."

Seems the pope fella can't make his mind up although they do shift their stance more and more recently - unfortunately not about anything that might make a fucking difference.
How can anyone not see the irony in saying "atheists can indeed go to heaven" baffles me. Who is the intended audience?
No idea about atheists and hell in scripture mind, I don't read that shit.
