Yes, some atheists do tend to state their beliefs as fact, and they are known as 'strong' or 'gnostic' atheists. 'Weak' or 'agnostic' atheists, such as myself, only claim to know that the specific gods created by man are false, but for varying different reasons are unsure on the existence of a deist god.

While I do disagree with gnostic atheists on the ability to know for a fact there is no god, I don't consider it to be the same as a theist saying there is a god, because the gnostic atheist's position is based on science, reason, and evidence, while the theist's position is based on an ancient book and wishful thinking.
