I don't think that there is a Muslim in existence who believes they are being dishonest with themselves in their belief.
I don't think that you can be "unwittingly dishonest" with yourself. I don't see how that is possible.
That said, I would have to say that Muslims and other strong belief systems with strong dogmas are most certainly projecting when they say atheists are being dishonest with themselves. They are projecting their own belief rather than their state of mind. When you reveal your lack of belief it isn't atypical for a theist, in this case, to doubt your drive; they have likely been indoctrinated against this very claim, being told that there is no such thing as a nonbeliever. We know, of course, that this isn't true, but that won't stop them from labeling you and then reciting whatever defence their proslytizer of choice taught them.

My conclusion is that there is no reason to believe any of the dogmas of traditional theology and, further, that there is no reason to wish that they were true.
