Are atheist or people who believe in atheism scared of death and dying?

Asked by Hypocrisy_Central (26879points) February 1st, 2010

There is this question about atheism, are atheist afraid to die? Following some of the questions about atheism it can be rather nebulous, kind of like a bi-sexual female who only wants to date and have sex with other bi women and lesbians bit no men in sight. With atheist there is like 2 varieties, those who deny God (you can’t really say gods because I deny them and I am no atheist) and those who do not believe there is a God or there are gods. If there is no God there is no after life, once you die you vanish into the great wide zephrum or something. There is no reckoning of your time here on Earth, no heaven to obtain or a hell to avoid. There is no good or evil there is just life, as it is with the animal kingdom. Seeing that death is just and end of life and not a step towards or to anything else, why would any atheist be afraid to die? Be they slimy people here on Earth of Pope-like it would not matter, so there would be no fear of judgment or damnation or anything like that do death will have no significance. If atheist are scared to die or of death, why?
