They may be more prone to certain kinds of mental illness like depression perhaps, if for instance whatever they decided to invest all their happiness into lets them down say family, career, wealth, relationships and so on. Not to say that a theist wouldn't be upset by these things going pear shaped but would be less prone to absolute despair or suicide.
Death/mortality would be probably be a little more depressing for atheists I imagine, seeing as they tend to believe you die and that's the end of you or whoever you care about forever. Not that you would ever experience the termination of your own existence so I find it difficult to imagine how this would work in practice. I'm under the impression that it doesn't.
