Atheists: What would you say to a dying child who asks you if they'll go to heaven?

But then when they're about to die you're gonna leave them feeling betrayed, sad and confused.

If by the term "about to die", you mean within the next minute or so, I don't think it really matters at that point. Besides, if the child wasn't mine, it wouldn't be my business to say anything. I'd be curious to know why the parents weren't there.

If the child was mine, they already don't believe in a sky fairy, so it's a moot point.
