As atheists, I am interested to know how you are affected by and deal with the prospect of a definitive end to your existence. Any thoughts?

Death doesn't bother me. I've dealt with cleaning it up in others, and I've faced it myself.
How am I affected by the definitive end of my existence? I stop existing. I don't remember disliking that time before I was born. I don't think, on that basis, that the time after I die will be remarkable.
How do I deal with the prospect? I live my life and don't worry about shit I cannot control.
As for your perceptions of atheist anxieties, who cares? It's a pretty trollish way to open your post. If that wasn't your intention, perhaps you should rethink how you communicate with your target audience. Imputing feelings to complete strangers on the basis of one's own limited experience is pretty arrogant, and unlikely to garner friendly replies.
