I'm not sure Christianity has the most pleasurable heaven from a secular perspective. This is why I said earlier that for the Christian the appeal of heaven is Jesus, meaning you have to already have a belief and an interest in the person of Jesus to find heaven appealing.
Plenty of other religions have a much more exciting afterlife if all you care about is living long and not being too scared when you die.
(And btw, isn't it a common atheist argument that life would be boring and meaningless if it was eternal?)
Does jesus give everyone equal knowledge of heaven and all the secrets or just certain groups?
