There is no set of tenets or moral guidelines attached to Atheism, so no-one speaks for all atheists, least of all me. Having said that, most atheists I've met get their morals and ethics from society at large, and thus find suicide reprehensible.
From my point of view as an atheist this life is the only life I know I'll have. The afterlife, while it would be nice, seems very unlikely. Once I die, its over (once again, not necessarily the belief of all atheists, some may believe in reincarnation). With this mindset, this one life I have becomes infinitely more valuable and I feel very motivated to make the most of it. However my biggest objection to suicide is the impact it will have on those around you, your pain may be over, but its not gone, it is multiplied many times over and passed to everyone who knew you. It is a very selfish and immoral act.
Doctor-assisted suicide is another matter however, and many atheists are in support of it in cases of terminal illness or whatnot.

Would atheists in charge work to establish a society where knowledge and truth are honored and fairness and equity and morality is based on consequences and not on religions scare tactics?
It is possible for atheists to prioritize knowledge and truth, fairness, equity, and morality based on consequences rather than religious scare tactics. However, individuals' beliefs and values can vary regardless of their religious affiliation, so it is not guaranteed that all atheists in charge would share the same approach to governing. Ultimately, the effectiveness of leadership depends on the individual's principles and actions, rather than their religious beliefs.
