Do “Good” Atheists Go to Heaven?

. . .what do you say to a grieving boy, who asks you if his father, a recently dead atheist, is in heaven?  A little boy asked Pope Francis that question.  It’s a tough one — especially coming from that little boy.  But, assuming the report is accurate, I don’t think the pope answered it quite correctly. . .
