If Heaven and Hell were proved real...?

Well some think that. Such as Dan Dennett for instance. So many profess belief without actually believing, they just believe in belief, etc..

Although, I believe I also read that Sam Harris has done a neurological study of religious belief and it appears in the brain just as any other real belief.
