Burden of Proof

[Zone]

There is nothing in atheism that would rule out something like a God or something like an afterlife it's just not ruling specifically anything in unless there is evidence for it. Unless you're talking about scientific naturalism which is a kind of belief some atheists have. This would be the physical universe is all that exists and our consciousness existence is dependent upon physical matter. People tend to miss the implication of a literal lack of existence after death. It wouldn't be something that could happen to us personally for the reason that you would have to exist in order for something to happen to you in the first place.
