Despite the burden of proof not being on atheists for the obvious reasons I tend to expect higher of atheists in that I expect us to be able to say exactly why we beleive as we do. It's a bit of a side effect of me having a higher respect for atheists, I expect any atheists I meet to be more intelligent than the average. Normally I would say it's unreasonable but, so far it's held true.
I also found it surprising when I saw gnostic atheist but, I interpreted as being said to show the conviction. In a 'I am so certain that there is no god I call myself this to reflect it' kinda way.
