Nothing. I will be cremated. The end.

an exorbitant amount of money is spent to ease the pain of loss to the next of kin. then your put in a box and dumped in a hole, burnt to ashes in an oven or stuffed like a prized trophy. however, the unscrupulous funeral homes will sometimes bury them in mass graves out back somewhere, or store them in an old trailer or even just toss the bodies out back in the woods. except for the burning or trophy options, your body then spends years decaying along with your memory to the 'loved ones'. what else is there. oh, there is one more possiblity. tho i have not personally seen one, i hear that zombies are on the rise. so i guess, thats possible too. all of which is far more believable and realistic than any theories your religion teaches you.

We lose consciousness (just as we were before we were conceived) and our body is decomposed and recycled. All atheists have different feelings about this, so there isn't really a specific atheistic view on what happens when we die.

It's all over. It'll be like how it was for you before you were born. The physical bit rots into the ground and will probably grow again as part of a blade of grass, or whatever. The cycle goes on forever.

I'm kinda both atheist and agnostic, but I think that when I die, my body will b put in2 a grave where I will decompose and maggots will eat my corpse. And I am content w/ that.
Hope that helped.

push up daisys, our energy can't be destroyed so turns to heat, etc, eventuall we will turn to microfine dust and be breathed in by others at some point in milennia. You and I breathe dinosaur dust etc in our lives no doubt. Im sure I got a lungful of john lennon the other day but cant be sure ....it might have been Ghengis Khan.

I don't know that I do die. Really I can't know that I die. I can only know that I am dying.
Does the 'many-worlds' interpretation of quantum mechanics imply immortality? Perhaps?

I'm not sure as I am not one, but I believe an Atheist believes they die and that's it. They're gone. They are buried and they're bodies decompose. They do not believe there is life after death, once you're gone you're gone. Period.

I blelive in God, but the fact is you do rot when you die. But The bible talks about a resurrection. I don't believe in heaven or hell. Just the resurrection Jesus talked about in the bible.

We KNOW what happens to us after we die. We decompose.
As for my organs, I'd like for every viable one to be donated to people in need. The rest of me can be incinerated for all I care.

The biochemical process that has constituted my "self" will cease, and as such, what will be left will be a bag of bones and biochemical goo.
