Not at all - it's a default position. I don't choose to go to heaven. I have recognised I am a sinner and accepted Jesus Christ so I get to go there. Nothing to do with my good works or being born in a Christian country (not that that description applies to the UK anymore of course!) or being "better" than anyone else. Sounds pretty arrogant doesn't it but that is the hard edge of the gospel message I'm afraid! Remember what Jesus said to the thief on the cross, the one who confessed he was a sinner.
