Atheists worry about death as much as theists.
Atheists might worry about death, but less so than a believer in Hell.
Some atheists believe that death is the end of consciousness and thus
of worries, but if you believe in some after-life, you might fear
unknown happenings, or suffering, etc.

However, if death doesn't lead to oblivion, but rather to another
state of being, then there may be plenty to plan about!
None of us remember a life before this life. However, we all entered
this life! We entered this life in varied circumstances, and we are
all living this life in very varied circumstances. What if death
just leads to another life, and what if it depends on what we did
with this life?

I might be more accurate to say it is irrational to fear being dead.
