I don't think that atheists nor theists are necessarily dishonest about their beliefs. There are some theists who have studied their religion a lot and they believe that their religion is a rational system in their own minds, at least. As for atheists, I haven't really gotten a feeling that they were being dishonest in their lack of belief in God (or gods) according to the ones who I have met in this forum so far.
However, it's definitely possible that some of us are self-deluded (including myself), while others are dishonest, but I can't always tell if someone is being dishonest for sure.
