Because that's the first and most important fallacy of all. You asking a question about atheists. Well, as I said before, there's only one answer any atheist can give you from a group standpoint and that is - I don't believe in god(s).
Everything else is up to the individual and although christians tend to form groups called churches, most of them are still individuals too with individual cravings, individual goals and individual life stories.
So, if you're writing fiction, you can paint your lead in any shape form or color you like. Just don't assume that there's some kind of hive mind involved that makes certain ways of thinking the norm.
