oy vey my friend you have a thick skull. im pretty sure maynard doesnt know either way, he may believe one thing but hes saying in honor of his mother, that since she was such a great person and honored the christian values so closely, so much better than others who claim the same thing, that it would be tragic for there not to be a heaven. hes not being hypocritical at all. saying that he doesnt believe in heaven but going to church regularly so that he could get into heaven is being hypocritical. for his mother hes almost hoping hes wrong. "if you should see your makers face tonight tell him..." hes using the qualifier 'if' because hes not saying she will, hes not saying "when you see your makers..." hes leaving it open ended, but if she were to see him, hes saying she better reap the rewards of being a stellar believer.
