¿The faith and denial of Strong Atheists?

The difference between strong and weak atheism is the degree
of faith a person has that their chosen belief is correct:

Strong atheism is a term generally used to describe atheists who accept
as true the proposition, "gods do not exist". Weak atheism refers to any
type of non-theism which falls short of this standard.

I was amused to learn that many people who claim to be strong
atheists also want to deny their own faith that God does not
exist, which is what *makes* them a strong atheist to begin with!
I'm curious what psycology and sociology minded people think
about this seemingly absurd and blatantly dishonest denial. A
person could think maybe these people are really weak atheists
instead, but that would require considering the possibility that
God does exist and the people in question give the very clear
impression they are convinced that he does not. So why deny
their own faith, and what do they think they gain by denying
the faith they so clearly do have and everyone is aware that
they have? Should they not be proud of it, instead of ashamed?
