When you die, you don't go anywhere, you simply stop. Then its either burial and decomposition or the crematorium and up in smoke. Souls were invented by St. Augustine in 390 AD. They are a total fiction based on Plato's Idealism, Aristotle's Solipsism, and a bit of God's own essence that Augustine asserted was given to each new human at the moment of their birth. Idealism and Solipsism were discredited centuries ago and God's existence in the physical realm has never been substantiated with any verifiable evidence.
I think being dead will be a lot like before I was born -- simply non-existent.

They only float around in Matt Damon's basement when it's flooded. Otherwise, they stand around in Matt Damon's basement.

Into the grave. There is no immortal soul, therefore I could never be a ghost in Matt Damon's basement.

I would have to say that good people who are athiests might be headed for a nicer place than the people who try to condemn them to Hell on behalf of anyone who might actually have the power to do so.
Assuming that kind of awesome power or trying to pass judgement without being given the right to do so would set you up for some harsh questioning when you arrive to your final destination, if you believe such a thing. It's kind of like going to jail for impersonating a cop.
Way to out yourselves and throw huge black arrows onto your heads!

Same place everybody else goes when they die.
It sure must be nice to be able to put yourself up on a pedestal, believing that you're so much better than everybody else, even to the point of believing that when you die, you'll go to an extra special place where you'll be happy for eternity, while all the "wretched sinners" are gonna burn.

Best case scenario, they take a little longer to reincarnate than everyone else.
Worst case scenario, they deliberately chose to reject Jesus in the full knowledge of what they are doing, and understanding the full consequences of that decision. THAT would be a one-way ticket to Hell. BE CAREFUL!

The same place everyone else goes when they die. Where is this... well, you'll have to die to find out!

Same place as you.
When you die you don't go, you stop.
Remember what it was like a hundred years ago? It's exactly like that.
This scares some people so much they make up stories about a magical fairy granting people eternal life.
We call these stories "religion".

Same place as everyone else. Either 6 feet under or up in smoke.
