In Saudi Arabia atheists are terrorists. And they also have the death penalty for terrorism.

I suppose on the plus side at least they actually sentence them, some countries just lock them up in extra judicial camps or orders a drone strike and never says a word.
This is misinformation. Saudi Arabia is not well regarded when it comes to religious freedom, and it has a law against apostasy (when a Muslim renounces their beliefs), which is a capital offense, but they don't classify atheists as terrorists.
It's so horrible. They probably think that they're helping atheists by sending them to the afterlife early. But what if the atheist is right and when you die, your last moment alive becomes frozen in your consciousness forever.

I’m sorry what? Is this the predominant/common belief among other atheists? Pretty much everyone I’ve spoken with is more likely to think you just turn off, everything goes black, back to the void of unlife.

I expect it to be unimaginable, literally, because without a running brain I can't imagine. How do you even reason or predict beyond that.
It's horrible either way but I think void is much better in this case.
I checked: when you die, you rot. Atheist or not.

Where does the speed go when the car stops?

I’m not sure what others believe. But I bet that right before you die, it feels like you are running towards a light at the end of a tunnel. But for each step you take, you shrink by half. Making a moment feel like an eternity.
Yeah, they just made up. :/
