They will get rewards as well if they believe in one God, Resurrection, Judgement Day, and revelations given to all the Prophets, as the Quran says, “Surely those who believe, and those who are Jews, and the Christians, and the Sabians, whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day and does good, they have their reward with their Lord, and there is no fear for them, nor shall they grieve” (2:62). As for atheist (kaffirs), they will not be rewarded for their good actions because they do it only for worldly benefits and/or because of their own moral reasons, as it says, "Those who disbelieve and turn away (others) from the path of Allah, He will render their deeds fruitless" (47:1).
So a murdering, raping, pillaging bastard who believes in a god, and the rest of the bollocks you mentioned, is more worthy of reward than an atheist who works tirelessly for the benefit of others?
Or is this some sort of religious street slang, like "sick" meaning good?
