Atheism is not a faith or belief system. It is based upon pragmatic reality. What's objectively proven is real. Anything that cannot be scientifically established does not exist.
After death, people have the same fate as all other animals. There is no difference.
For people who don't accept atheism, it doesn't really matter.
The distance to the sun is the same for atheists and non-atheists.
The boiling temperature for fluids is the same for atheists and non-atheists.
Believing in something doesn't make it exist. Otherwise, why not lose your teeth and get rewarded by the tooth fairy.
Several weeks ago, a religious person in Kiev indicated that he would prove the existence of god by going into a lion's cage and showing how he was protected. He was promptly attacked, eaten, and digested.
What more do you need to know.
P.S. Are you as good looking as your avatar?

Dear the pretty,
I believe that there is no such a person as an "atheist". You see every person deep down in their heart know that there is a God, however, they refuse to admit it. For example, a person who falls into some peril....say, they fall from a balcony or someone they know dies suddenly or is diagnosed with a terrible disease such as cancer.... What is the first thing they say? O....G__! People know that one day they are going to stand before God and have to give an account of their life. This is true for the muslim, "atheist", catholic, mormon, baptist, etc.
The second point is what is the consequences after death? All epole, regardless of religion or non-religion are sinners. That is every human being has disobeyed God's laws and is a rebel. The result of that rebellion is to spend eternity under the wrath of God (hell). Most everyone is going to end up in hell. The Lord, in His mercy and graciousness, has decided to save a remnant of His creation from this eternal damnation. However, God is perfectly just and cannot just let someone who has broken the law into heaven. Someone has to pay the penalty for those sins. God, the Lord Jesus Christ, paid the sin debt for these elect ones so that they can enter into heaven. I do not have space adequate to explain but let me refer you to: www.Familyradio.com. They have a booklet entitled, "What Must I Do To Become Saved?" You can look at it online or print it out. I hope this will help you!

That is not true. The afterlife heaven and hell theory is a part of monotheist religions like christianity and islam that tell you don't do this or you'll go to hell or confess and you'll recieve heaven in the afterlife. In hinduism the concept of karma says there is freewill but the consequences for it are in this life itself. Heaven and hell being a state of happiness or misery due to the burden on your conscience. It does believe in reincarnation to encourage good behaviour the ultimate aim of being free from the cycle of birth and death which is "moksha", a blissful state of knowledge of all things. Same as the concept of "Nirvana" in budhism. Atheists are also part of hindu mainfold. As a religion it serves its purpose of giving hope, discipline and the importance of continuously acquiring knowledge(life being a learning cycle) for the human kind. It encourages conscious self thought for changing times instead of blind faith. Why else do you think it has survived for thousands of years. A person cannot live by a few rules in life. Life is not black and white, there are shades of grey too.

It depends what the real truth ends up being when you get there. There's no upside (playing the odds, afterlife-wise) in being an atheist. If you're right, then you're just a corpse rotting in the ground - which everybody would be no matter what they believed in before they died. But if you're wrong and there is a god, then you're screwed and most everyone else isn't.
There is no downside to not believing in atheism. If there is no supreme being, then we all just rot in the ground, no matter what we believed while we were alive. There would be no "extra punishment" for being wrong.

I am a Christian so I believe that People who don't love God will go to hell when they die. But hell isn't everlasting suffering. It only lasts as long as each person deserves it. Like, you won't have a murderer and a person who just never was taught about God in a good way to have the same punishment. That would be unfair. So each person gets there punishment and they get destroyed forever and don't get to live forever with God up in heaven. Which one would you choose?

What you believe does matter.
God as always is the final judge in all matters, and His judgement is final. To look around and see creation in its full glory and say it got here by evolution just doesnt hold water. To have a male and a female evolve at the same time is just beyond statistics, And in every species yet. If you really want to get a fix on a belief system go to

Atheists don't believe in God, Heaven or Hell. So when an athiest dies, he/she believes that his/her body will decompose along with his/her conscienceness.
Atheism isn't a religion, so there is no one preaching that you're going to [explode into nothingness and be eaten by rabid hamsters] if you don't proscribe to atheism. Only the Christians do that.

You don't choose to be an atheist, you choose to not believe in mumbo jumbo, mythological beings and chanting for a future in some delusional paradise filed with whatever your local religion will think tempts you the most.

Nobody knows what happens when they die...we can all choose to believe that we go to a better place or we can choose to believe that is just the end. Everyone has their own beliefs and each person will cope with death in their own way.

I'm an atheist and I don't believe in an afterlife. I don't think there is an atheist who believes in an afterlife.
Try thinking about consequences right now. When you do something, it comes right back to you right away. If you give someone something, most likely, in one form or another, you get something back from them or someone else.
You get what you give.
