Considering that God doesn't create a person's choice in what they believe or don't, the premise is, well, silly.
BUT, let's address the point for the moment:
Let's be clear that the INTENTION behind an act is, for God who knows WHY we do what we do and not JUSt WHAT we do, very, very important, perhaps MORE so than the actual act.
Doing a good deed because you feel you HAVE to is a big no-no in pretty much every religion by the way.
It would be great that all acts of compassion are other-centered BUT we know that isn't the case.
Many people do good ( and make sure everyone knows about it) because it gives them a sense of self-worth or a sense of pride ( I am a good person) or makes them think that people think that way about them.
Even the greats act of compassion is tainted when the reason behind it is self-centred.
See, I have no doubt that many an atheist does an act of compassion with no thought of personal gain, as do many believers.
And the reverse is also true of course.
In short, it doesn't matter.

God does Not Create atheists -- He Did create everyone with a 'clean slate' with parents or those raising us to teach us 'whatever'. Everyone is born in a state of innocents.

"Good atheists deserve a place in heaven (in case it exists) more than good religious people, because their good behaviour was never stimulated by any rewards."

1) nobody is good except God. No good atheists. No good religious people.
2) nobody "deserves" a place in heaven. Eternal life is by God's grace(which means it's undeserved), through faith in Christ.

God created Adam and made Eve -- they were Not atheists. So, No God did not create people being non-theists.
