Not all do, obviously. Some christians who take their moral guidance (nearly) entirely from their belief in god and the bible doubt whether it is possible to even be moral without that guidance.

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.

Apart from religious faith, atheists do not lack values attributed to followers of religions.
Why do atheists attack the lies of organized religion and not provide answers to everyday people like raising good and moral children which is why people turn to religion as they look for answers?

How could an atheist's lack of belief in God affect his or her perception of family?
It depends on how the family would perceive the atheist. Atheists in today's society are the last pariah, and many atheists fear telling their families about their lack of belief in their family's traditional god. The perception may be based upon fear in this case. However, I have found that the importance of a family to an individual is unconditional, whether one believes in a god or not.
