I think it's less that they don't believe heaven and hell are real, and more that heaven and hell are such far concepts that they don't generally intrude on regular believers' reasoning.

Most people believe in starving children, but they generally don't incorporate that knowledge into their day to day behavior even in situations where it would be relevant.
