Right now your in the land of the living;so you talk boastfully and thin you have it figured out.
But later down the line of life(hopefully much later),when your old,sick and on your last few years or days of life;will you die with the belief god is imaginary and not real?Or will you question and doubt,and do as the thief on the cross that was next to Jesus as He was being crucified?The thief on the cross decided no ordinary man would willingly let himself be subject to such ridicule.And He decided that Jesus was God and ask that he would be with Jesus in Heaven.Jesus response "And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise."(Luke 23:43)
Will you die with your beliefs?
Or do as the thief on the cross and ask Jesus to save you?

Actually I saw a study that showed the 2 groups of people who deal with death best are devout believers and atheists. Both are at peace with the idea of death. So, I dont think I will have a problem. I am not looking forward to death, as I have a lot of living that I still want to do, but when it comes it comes. Whats to fear?

You do realize that most of us got here by doubting our past religious beliefs, right? We weighed the evidence and came to our conclusions. And this is what we came to.
And us talking boastfully? I don't know any atheists personally who completely deny the existence of God, but I know plenty of Christians who claim to know he does exist and flaunt their so-called salvation, including the author of this question I believe. What makes us the boastful ones?

I've thought I was going to die twice. It never crossed my mind either time. So yes, I am pretty sure I will unless someone comes up with some good evidence that changes my mind. But I don't see that happening.

Slow down a minute the man on the cross was only guilty if thief, not Blasphemy, and quote correctly,He said to Jesus," Remember me to Your Father "and for that faith, Jesus took him to heaven.

I may not be an Atheist, but you can rest assured I will never go back to being a Christian, I will never ask Jesus to help me or save me even when faced with death (and I have faced death before), and I will go to my grave with my beliefs. I don't want any forgiveness from your God for what I was and am.

I have no illusions about death. I have seen it up close and personal several times already in my life. I do not just believe there is no god, I know without one once of doubt.

It's not so much death that atheists fear, but rather life - i.e. living a moral life.
Death is nothing to most atheists since they only think of themselves as another brick in the wall of life on Earth.

Have Jesus pay me a visit. We'll chat and if he can convince me, I'll follow him. Not that evil YVWH guy though. He's an egocentric homocidal psychopath.

You do know that this question displays a tremendous amount of arrogance and pride on your part. Yuo might deny this, but it does.
Reading it from my perspective you sound proud that others are wrong and you are right (in your opinion).

Yeah, probably die with my beliefs. I think I'd rather die wrong than die feeling like a hypocrite.
The only problem with atheism is knowing that everyone else will never know they were wrong.
