Not secret theists no lol, but it's easy to suppress something innate, not everyone acts in accordance with their subconscious, for example we know deep down that murder is wrong, but there are still a heck of a lot of murderers and rapists etc. that does mean that it's not innate? not necessarily, it just means that they ignored it or suppressed it in favour of another set of morals. 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.

Ok.
