Heaven
Where angels dwell
Heaven as a proper noun refers specifically to the divine abode in religious contexts, treated as a place name: She prayed to be admitted to Heaven.
The capitalization signals reverence or theological precision, distinguishing the afterlife destination from casual figurative uses.
Heaven and Hell are central to Christian eschatology. (Lowercase heaven covers both the religious sense and figurative uses.)
