Well, if they were proven real (though I'm gonna side with doubt on this one), it would also mean that many other things have been proven real, like the most obvious one, the existence of a God. After all, if you got a Heaven and a Hell, you need someone to say who gets to go where don't you? And I say of a God, because there are many religions who have a Heaven and a Hell. So OK, lets say its proven, just for the sake of argument, well, if what most of those religions say is true, all believers will be judged according to the life they led and all non believers are going to Hell for backing up the wrong horse, so us Atheists are kinda screwed either way!
One thing that will, at least personally, satisfy me, is that all those really hardcore believers, you know, the type that, for example, assassinates abortion doctors, or priests who molest altar boys, will also go to Hell, making their twisted little version of religion also the stuff unacceptable to Heaven! The look on their face when they cross the fiery gates of Hell when they expect to go to Heaven would be priceless don't you think?

"If the world does come to an end here, or wherever, or if it limps into the future, decimated by the effects of religion-inspired nuclear terrorism, let's remember what the real problem was that we learned how to precipitate mass death before we got past the neurological disorder of wishing for it." Bill Maher
