If hell is supposed to be the worst place imaginable, wouldnt sending an atheist to heaven be the worst place to send them? Constantly surrounded by christians running around talking about god and praying and just being christians.....that would suck

It is hard for a non-believer to understand that what you enjoy in this life is provided by God. ALL good things come from God. The air you breathe, food, water, shelter, jobs, income, family and friends, hope, love, light, consciousness, free will...all of what is.
Take all that away and you have the beginning of an understanding of hell. A place where there is no justice, hope, goodness, love, or life...in essence, no God.
Charles Veidt
It's actually theologically valid to consider Hell a form of mercy, because for one who truly hated God, it would be less suffering than an eternity in the direct presence of God.
That said, atheism itself is not a guarantee that one is going to Hell. That gets into some very individualized territory having to do with what one does in life, what one is genuinely aware of, what one has the genuine capacity to understand, etc. God knows one's heart better than any human ever could, and judgment is given accordingly.

In heaven there won't be preaching there will be no telling people about God because everybody will know him and love and respect him.
However those that go to hell are going to have to listen two people that thought they were Christians still screaming preaching in their ear for all eternity while they stand there burning!

"You don't understand Christianity." -@Jiraiya The Gallant
In Christianity, you can be the most vile scum the planet has ever seen, but if you accept Jesus as your Lord and savior a millisecond prior to death, you spend eternity in heaven.
In Christianity, you can be the most beneficial person the planet has ever seen, but if you don't accept Jesus as your Lord and savior a millisecond prior to death, you spend eternity in hell.
That is the message of Christianity.
