I get that lol. If you don't even think God exists, that takes away full knowledge and full consent. It doesn't matter if you used to think differently or not.
Do you love goodness and love? Do you strive to live a life of virtue to the best of your understanding of it? Do you seek truth? Do you feel remorse when you think youve fallen short along the way, like when you lose your temper and hurt someone's feelings, etc? Do you try to reject such things as hatred and greed to the best of your understanding of them?
If the answer is yes, then it is my opinion that you will go to heaven.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
