Being a pagan is believing in some god other than the Judeo-Christian God. Examples of pagan religions are Wicca, Animism, Asatru/ Odinism, etc. An atheist is someone who denies or disbelieves in any type of god or other supernatural beings.

Do atheists lack the values of the holy?

No. Atheists in general have the same moral and ethical values as do Christians and members of other religions. If there is a difference, it is that atheists hold the values that they do hold because they believe in their intrinsic merit, rather than in the hope of reward or fear of hellfire. Apart from religious faith, atheists do not lack values attributed to followers of religions.
