Atheists: how do you deal with your own mortality? [Spirituality & Religion]

I am atheist and I cannot bring myself to believe in an afterlife.. so I'm really freaked out by my own mortality and how after I die I will simply cease to be. These thoughts torment me and I want to find solace in an afterlife, but sadly all religions are wrong.

This is the trouble with all faiths.
Always the 'promise' of a better existence after this one !
And then a list of do's and donts in order to access it after you die.
But. Since nobody has ever proven the existence of either a/many Gods. Nor a Nirvana/Heaven/etc. Could be that this idea is just a creation. A tool. To get folk to follow whatever they say or want them to do !
When one considers the stupidity of some of the things done by those who 'believe' and the havoc; terror and murder committed by many supposed religious folk. You have to ask the logical question.
What kind of God would allow that ?
