If death leads to oblivion, then there isn't much to worry about.
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.
Perhaps, but some may prefer Hell to oblivion, while others try to
kill themselves after a minor setback. It depends on the person.
An odd notion, that: some people might prefer Hell to Oblivion. But that
aside, you seem to think that it is only fear of death (and/or Hell)
that keeps people from widespread mayhem and self-destruction. I must
admit that I have a healthier view of humanity.
