Heaven exists.
When you say hell, it is important to note that the Bible DOES NOT teach that God will send individuals to a place of eternal torment and suffering. When told Adam and Eve what their punishment would be, he simply said in Genesis 3:19: "For dust you are and to dust you will return.” He would go back to the same exact condition he was in before he was created: Non-existence. God never told him he would suffer for all eternity.
Ecclesiastes 9:5 says that the "dead are conscious of nothing at all." Psalms 146:4 shows that when one dies their "thoughts do perish."
Interestingly, in the Criswell Theological Review, Professor Pinnock writes: “Everlasting torment is intolerable from a moral point of view because it makes God into a bloodthirsty monster who maintains an everlasting Auschwitz for victims whom he does not even allow to die.” He asks: “How can anyone with the milk of human kindness in him remain calm contemplating such an idea [the traditional doctrine of hell]? . . . How can Christians possibly project a deity of such cruelty and vindictiveness?”
Even Catholic theologian Hans Küng asks: “Should the God of love . . . watch for all eternity this endless, hopeless, pitiless, loveless, cruel physical-psychological torture of his creatures?...Is he such a hardhearted creditor? . . . What would we think of a human being who satisfied his thirst for revenge so implacably and insatiably?”
To know what the Bible really teaches regarding this matter, read the following:

Heaven and hell are only for spirits, not for human beings. Spirits are separate elements. When these spirits realize that they will be tortured in the hell if they don't obey to moral and justice they will not induce human beings to do mistakes or sins.
God cannot watch each and every human being at the same time. That's why He had created the spirits to watch, guide and determine the destiny of the human beings from their daily activities, talks and thoughts too. Your past determines your present and your present determines your future. God has given freewill to all creatures including human beings. According to this, all human beings have all right to live a life as they wish. But if it happens to be bad and hurts someone, they have to face the consequences. It's a natural system. After death no one lives in any form. Heaven and hell are only for spirits. A human being is not a single spirit. All knowledge, skills, feelings, emotions, interests and everything are spirits or invisible elements. Even thoughts are not your own. A human being is just a robot made of different materials (flesh, bones, tissues etc.,) and a toy of the spirits for their games.

I don't think so. They are just distractions so you always worry about later and later life. What matters is NOW and that's what's truly important. Give your 100% focus to right now and be the best person and make the most of you. If there is Hell or Heaven, worry about it when it becomes your present. Because if you worry about your future in the present it hijacks you from the present.

I believe there is. I'm not going to discredit Atheists, I respect their opinion.
But the way I look it at is from a scientific stand point. The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be created nor destroyed, only transformed into different types of energy. If you apply this to us, we have energy, we're living. Where does that go when we die? I believe it changes into the form that is found in Heaven. But that's just my opinion.

I dumped belief in those things a long time ago.
Hell actually did not exist in judaism. When christianity came along, it somehow got incorporating into it.
