The idea that everything must have a creator is not correct.
From a religious point of view, god does not need to have a creator.
To say that god created a rule that all things need a creator, but that rule does not apply to god, does not explain things: god would need to exist prior to making that rule, and would still then need a creator himself.
If you wish to take the postion that all things except god require a creator, then it's best to define god as that which creates all things initially. Then you have no need to make any special exceptions.
A much cleaner arugument.
As for atheists, there is no god, no rule, and no paradox.

There is no god, therefore there are no rules from any god. The statement that everything needs a creator is a statement of godbelievers and not a rule. Nothing needs a creator.

The assertion that everything must have a creator is not true. Virtual particles dismiss that premise without needing to look any deeper.

Considering the nature of your question... Why are you directing it towards atheists?
No creator; No creator's rules. End of story.

My parents created me. My DNA is a combination of theirs, and hopefully for the better adaptation for my survival on this planet.
A god has no rules for me, I don't listen to your imaginary friends.

since i dont believe god exists these rules cannot apply to a nonexistent being.

Do rules that an imaginary being impose affect the imaginary being? Umm, you don't quite get the concept of atheism, do you?

Atheists do not believe any kind of deities exist, why would you ask us such a ridiculous question?

Yes. But God is not a thing.
