They just die. Sometimes they find the transition a bit confusing, but even believers in God can be disoriented by such a drastic change. It is not at all what most of them are expecting, is my thinking.
Ever see the show "Dead Like Me"? Well, it is not like that at all, really, but it is just as different from what an orthodox believer is expecting as that would be. Now you are going to ask, "How the Hell do you know?" From my reading and studies, those are my conclusions. Ask me what I have read, if you want to.

I think that most people will be surprised when they die. That includes both Atheists and believers in God.

Same thing I was doing 12 years before I was born, which is almost, but not exactly, the same as what I was doing in 277 BCE.
Which kind of reminded me of 3.2 Billion years ago for some reason. I think it may have been the lighting though.

They decompose. Just like people who believe in God do when they die.

their bodies do, indeed, decompose. However, if there really is a powerful creator God, wouldn't it be silly to believe His existence depended on us believing in Him? If's He's real, my disbelief would merely offend Him, right?
By the way, I would encourage those who say "no one has died and come back" to thouroughly study and investigate the claim that Jesus did just that. What if he did?

I do what everybody else does: go six feet under and become worm food. I shall "live on" in the works I leave behind and the people I've touched.
And don't even try to pull Pascal's Wager on me.

try reading 'The Great Divorce' by CS Lewis. It provides an excellent and articulate allegory of what heaven may be like, and what will happen to all of us when we die.

When people (all of them) die, they don't do anything. remember what it was like a hundred years ago? it's the same thing.
This scares some people so much they make up stories about a magical fairy granting people eternal life.
We call these stories "religion".

According to the Atheists on Y!A that's it--in to the ground and its over forever.
