Irrelevant question. Both the theist and atheist can be either scared of it or not scared of it. Bravery in the face of it or fear of is in our species evolution. The only difference is that the atheist does not assign those natural reactions to a fictional sky hero.
There are a variety of reasons people react to the thought of that.
I fear prolonged pain. I fear not existing, not because of a fictional hell or fictional punishment. I fear not existing because of all the things I wont be around to feel, like love of family and friends, and a future I will not get to see. But I do not have a fear of myths. I will be dead and their is nothing to fear about our finite existence anymore than I fear my pre birth.
