This is a purely faith position, it can't be proven but if you wanted an explanation, I don't think you're a secret theist, I think you've successfully 'destroyed' or 'suppressed' the idea of a god in your subconscious. (and please I don't need someone saying that I said atheism= murder/rape, being on this forum that cannot be ruled out). If you don't like that analogy think of something else that is innate like taking care of the disabled/poor/orphans.
