I can't speak for other religions, but I'm pretty sure Catholicism doesn't actually require belief to go to heaven--more of the good works category. Belief is good, and supposedly makes it easier to be good, but is not necessary. This, I think, is a more recent change in catechism, which says that anyone can go to heaven as long as they live good lives, regardless of belief (Yeah, I understand that the new pope botched this, but it still applies anyways).
In contrast, if you believe in God but do bad things, then you would still be punished.
Of course, there isn't a whole lot of talk about hell either, mainly its accepted that unless you're exceptionally good or exceptionally bad, you'll go to purgatory, which is like hell, but only temporary.
To sum it up: doing good works in the name of the devil counts as God's work while doing bad things in the name of God counts as the devil's work.
