Sure, this is your life. This is the only life you get to live. But how did you get here? How did ANYTHING get here? Big bang theory? psshh.... where did the stars come from in the begginning?
But nevermind all of that. What i want to know, is what do you think is going to happen to you after you die?

The first paragraph of your question has been answered here so many times its unbelievable, so i guess you should 'search for questions' to find answers to that bit from atheists.
A lot of atheists think we all rot and die, quite simply. I agree that theres a good chance this is true, but also i think i believe something more is quite possible. i am open minded to all religions but dont necesarily believe they are true. i think there may be a soul that will rise from our body after we die. where it goes, i do not know, and i dont believe anyone truely does. its an interesting thing to think about and discuss, though.

Dying? Well, the end of life. The other questions have the answer on your science book.
When I die? I've already arranged to donate the usable parts. and the rest will start the process commonly known as decomposition of the body.

you will die also and you will get the same as any athiest You will continue he carbon cycle. You need to think of seven days and think of how big the universe is and you need to realize that we are now getting light from star that were born about the time use say the earth was made by your God. 7 days well you need to scrap your concept and read about the big bang because it is the best explanation we have at this time

The matter was always here in some form. You really don't answer anything by putting a magic sky faerie in there, 'cause all you get now is where did he come from. Adding a step only makes it more complex, doesn't answer a thing, and you have no evidence to do it.
And when we die: nothing. Sorry that frightens you.

The mind is the soul. It doesn't survive the death of the brain that generates it.
I don't fear actual death. I do however fear the dying process. That, as most of us understand, can be scary and painful.
I don't think anything will happen when I die. Who I am is stored in my brain so when that dies I will just no longer exist. I think it will be like what it feels like before we were born. Just nothing.

Is this line of questioning synonymous with your illogical train of thought imparted by your entrenched religious beliefs?
EDIT. Apparently I must explain my response (I was emailed to do so). The convoluted path from the title question "What do you Atheists think about dying?" all the way to the ending of "....to happen to you after you die" meanders from the origin of life (evolution), to the origin of my life (sexual reproduction), to anything getting here (philosophy/physics), BBT (astrophysics), to star generation (astrophysics), then penultimately, "But nevermind all of that"....alas.
I would have happily answered the title question had the pointy fingers of christian religious creationism not muddied the waters with spite and innuendo typical of the illogical position of religious belief.

Of course we don't believe in 'souls'! Why on earth would atheists - or anyone logical - buy into such a silly fantasy?
'Souls' were invented precisely as a component of the life after death fantasy. There's no more evidence for them than there is for gods.

Remember before you were born? I imagine it's like that.
PS -- Your other questions have answers but your "psshh" makes me think you don't care.
