It's not a loaded question however.
Do you believe there is no God?
A weak Atheist would say no, and a strong Atheist would say yes. A strong Atheist can say I don't know for sure and be agnostic, but still believes there is no God.
I don't know why people evaded the answer.
I would say however neither the strong atheist or theist needs to prove his claim.
Most of the things we hold faith on are stored in our subconscious. If you begin to try to rationalize why you believe your Mom loves you, you will not reach the real reasons you believe that in your subconscious. At most, you would be stating some possible factors.
If you want to rationalize why you believe the wall of China exists even though you never seen it, you will not reach the real reasons your subconscious believes that and is rationally justified to do so.
Therefore if a strong atheist looking at life, thinks, really there is no God, how can there be? he doesn't have to rationally justify it with arguments.
A believing Theist, even if it's not on the basis of properly basic knowledge, doesn't have to justify it, because his subconscious could be aware of all sorts of reasons to believe in God, that he is not aware of.
Even if things can be rationally proved, it doesn't mean we are wrong to trust our subconscious. A child can believe his mothers loves him, without making a rigorous argument to prove that.
