This is quite distressing to the evangelical crowd.
Long and stupid story short, the writer of the article is aghast that he'll have to spend eternity with people who told him he was full of shit the entire time he was alive. Also, the Pope doesn't know what he's talking about.
Do Atheists go to Heaven? Pope Francis says yes

Here Pope Francis reiterates his attempts at redefining what it means to be a child of God. For him, children of God are all people: Christian believers, baptized people, unbelievers, atheists, people of other religions, idolaters, etc. He grounds this claim in creation and relates it to the human conscience. No mention is made of sin and separation from God... does having one’s own children baptized equate with trusting the Lord Jesus for our salvation? Is this not a version of salvation by works that is always opposed in the Bible (e.g Ephesians 2:8-9)?
