Eerie whispers
trapped beneath my pillow
won't let me sleep
your memories
I know you're in this room
I'm sure I heard you sigh
floating in-between
where our worlds collide
It scares the hell out of me
and the end is all I can see
and it scares the hell out of me
and the end is all I can see
Yeah, yeah...
I know the moment's near
and there's nothing we can do
look through a faithless eye
are you afraid to die?
It scares the hell out of me
and the end is all I can see
and it scares the hell out of me
and the end is all I can see
Yeah, yeah...
I <3 Muse. :3

Having checked out just about every concievable religion, and grown up in an atheist home, I would conjecture that a dying human is still a dying human, but the atheist perhaps gets to also agonize over the existence, lack of existence, and either the grace or dispite of a godhead type figure. Though my religion is my own business, the single greatest proof that a god of some sort exists is the very simple and real fact that there has never existed a society, or culture that as a whole cleaved to atheistic views. Interestingly enough, the same can be said for altering ones state of conscience through the introduction of an intoxicant. Thats right, folks!!! We humans seem to need both as a part of the human experience. Intoxication and god. ponder that for a while.

nicely i could think of it may be alongside those strains:- a minimum of i'm no longer likely to be judged by potential of the different being. I relatively have exceeded my own judgement on my self and now i'm going to almost immediately end to be. I left at the back of the trials yet will preserve the sturdy situations till the purely suitable on the spot. My aspects would be recycled and that i will survive vicariously by my babies. Uh!

Impossible to answer really--- you can only know about the thoughts of an atheist before he is dying-- and only then for as long as he can speak.
Many people whose bodies have been clinically 'dead' have experienced consciousness out of the body--- and after having been brought back to the body, told about experiences they had.
I am convinced that we do not simply cease to exist when the body dies---
I am also equally convinced that God, by the very definition of God, is not some small spirited individual who damns people to eternal suffering because they did not know of (believe in) His existence.
Come on--- I wouldn't do that to people, and I surely am not greater (more compassionate, more loving, etc) than God.

They are probably either hoping they are right, that they are just about to become worm food, their own words, by the way, OR, ..They will realize there is more to this life, and something knows of our first a last breaths here, and for once have even a short dialogue with the God of the universe, if there is time.

If the "atheist" is Buddhist, then we're taught to try to meditate, if we can, on the concept of "emptiness" (as Buddhism defines it) and not cling or attach or have aversions to any thoughts, objects, people, etc. Or if they're learned enough, they're doing their specific meditation to get them through the bardo.

Same as any other person, minus musing about what it will be like afterwards.

Most are probably "Good bye" or simply a peaceful silence. There are, however, atheists who believe in an afterlife. These individuals probably think of the next step that awaits them.

"I'm so glad I lived a moral life as an atheist, and that there is no chance that I will have to spend eternity with a God who drowns and slaughters millions, and repeatedly commands his followers to kidnap, enslave, torture, rape, abort, and kill people - or his nasty followers. I can't wait to come back as a ghost and haunt preachy Christians who try to force everyone to worship their evil God! But first, a quick nap . . ."
