Do atheists personify nature?

I have a question about the atheists’ arguments and their views.
While arguing against existence of God, they refer to Nature, often even Mother Nature, her laws and her creations. It seems that most of them (atheists) are not bothered about this personification of nature and that they are willing to accept the idea that a collection of molecules and atoms is capable of acquiring laws of its own, though that would be the only system that we know of where the order and laws would rise from total chaos. They use the word Nature so often, when asked to explain creation and all phenomena around, that it sounds to me like they are stuck with religion headed by the deity named Nature.
On the same note, what is considered nature in atheists’ view? Atoms, molecules, rocks, living things? Anything that they could name could not have created the laws because everything that is called nature is already created following these laws. So at what point the nature started creating the laws or do they admit that the laws existed before creating the matter and nature is only obeying them?
