It's funny, a lot of people I've come across who have turned to atheism seem to have gravitated towards it precisely because they like knowing death is the end. Especially those who were formerly religious and feel a great deal of guilt over their behavior. I've always found it interesting how only one side of this is often presented, as if there's no psychological reasons a person might be drawn to atheism.
Divine intervention is what comes to mind as the biggest. I guess that depends on what kind of denomination you belong to. But, certainly, I'd say a lot of Christians I know do think that God will act on their behalf if they behave appropriately. You even see this in agnostics and atheists who make deals with the universe or themselves (Just let me do x one more time, and I swear I won't do x ever again). I actually think it's interesting how widespread such deals are regardless of a person's beliefs. Though, of course, religious people might feel inclined to pray for something routinely (like good health for themselves or others) with the expectation that God will bring it about because of their faith.
