I do to, you get that really odd felling that sort of washes over you. I don't understand how atheists in particular can make themselves believe that nothing happens once you die, not because I don't respect their beliefs but because it is a scary thing to believe.

I don't understand what odd feeling you're referring to.
I also don't understand what you find so frightening. If I try and imagine where you're coming from, the only concept that I can imagine being scary is the prospect of there being consciousness after death, but no afterlife. So you'd be stuck in empty, lonely space for the rest of eternity. That would indeed be scary.
But that's not what atheists believe. As BM tried to explain, consciousness is a biproduct of the wiring of the brain. When you die, consciousness ceases. There is no thought, no existence, nothing. Why is that frightening?
