Post Theists in heaven?

There will be no theists in heaven because theists are believers and as believers are they doubters and since doubters cannot go to heaven there will be no theists in heaven.

This is made clear when Thomas had to be convinced. Thomas was doubt and the twin of faith and so with the removal of doubt also faith was removed. After this convergence ("my Lord and my God") ascention could take place.

The only difference between theists and atheists is the degree of faith--and therefore the degree of doubt--to make atheists impoverished believers which is not necessarily bad and perhaps better or worse than self righteous believers who's faith is just another form of earthliness and therefore also a handicap towards ascention.
