Yes, they look forward to an eternal dreamless sleep and since they're usually socially challenged they don't have as many loved ones to contemplate missing and caring for.

"In his book, The Making of an Atheist, Taylor University philosophy professor James S. Spiegel quotes Søren Kierkegaard saying it’s wrong to assume objections to Christianity stem from doubt. They instead “spring from insubordination, the dislike of obedience. . . .” Willful immorality, in other words, undermines our faith. We, as Paul says, suppress the truth in unrighteousness. It’s hard to manage that kind of active suppression and keep showing up for liturgy, prayers, and so on. Like Adam in the garden, we run. I’m no pastor or confessor so I don’t know how long the average person can keep it up. We’ve all got our own sins, so we can address it for ourselves. But indulgence is truly perilous—as some of us have already learned the hard way. Speaking only here in human terms, we might be able to ignore and endure some low-volume dissonance, but the more grating our behavior becomes the more we’re forced to mute the truth that says our behavior is wrong." blogs.ancientfaith.com
