Someday, I will die. I will really die, I won't go to heaven or hell, I won't ever see my dead family members again, I won't ever again see the people I will leave behind.
It motivates me to make the most of the time I have. And, if I am to be remembered, I better make myself memorable. When I do, I'll have only myself to blame. I won't have to thank god for my accomplishments, because I did them myself. And my relationships, my friendships, my family...it's all so much more special because I only have right now to appreciate them. I only get one chance at my life, I am making it epic. I am enjoying it all I can.
And, to get to the main point, I feel comforted by the end. All my mistakes, all my thoughts, washed away. Everything I have will no longer matter. Suddenly, nothing will matter. I won't have to carry on forever. Existing can be pretty exhausting sometimes, I'm glad I do exist now, but I'm glad it's not something I will get to do forever. Everything I earn now will not matter anymore some day. This is all the more reason to live for myself.

If he's afraid, it's probably because he's not 100% convinced of his atheism.  In order to not fear death an atheist must be totally sure that there is no God.  Otherwise there will always be the thought of the possibility of existence afterwards and if he has prepared himself for that possibility.
Bold mine.
I don't agree with that. The two aren't mutually exclusive. I am terrified of death. I still don't believe in a god though and I have yet to see evidence of any sort of afterlife.
