I'd choose the latter.
When we enter 'the other side', love and happiness are much more present. But what also comes along with us is 'regrets'.
We have to 'clean-up' all those regrets, before entering the white light. Atonement is mandatory there, to be spiritually cleansed.
Faith in our living world matters-not. No requirement of being past religious. One can be an atheist there. Even mass murderers of our age, are eligible for atonement. Even Dahmer.
