Atheists believe this. Is this disturbing? Well, one atheist said "Nature Doesn't Owe US Anything", so are many people being whiny?

Myself, I mostly don't believe this, but there's always doubt in my mind

Not all of us. I cannot speak for other Atheists, but I do believe in "Eternal Oblivion" upon death. I don't see it as disturbing, but rather a liberation from a life well lived.
For many atheists, "eternal oblivion", represents the cessation of consciousness and existence after death. It is a view supported by naturalism and modern neuroscience which posits that consciousness is a function of the brain. This perspective doesn't involve experiencing an afterlife but a return to the non-existence before birth, as the mind is seen as dependent on a functioning brain. Rather than an empty threat, this view can be seen as a liberation, prompting a focus on the meaning and value of the single life lived on Earth.
