I'm not trying to get at anything. And this thread was never about general honesty among or between religious and non-religious people.
A simple question was asked...is it more honest to affirm that there is no factual evidence for a god or to assert that there is to back up your beliefs.
Pure and simple. Anyone who read more into it than that is too sensitive...
And, yes, I agree with you that honesty has nothing to do with religion or lack thereof (not inherently, anyway).
Religion does not require honesty; it requires faith. They are not mutually exclusive, nor are they mutually required.
You asked a question by stating a premise. You claimed, or asserted, in your question that atheists are more honest than christians and in the phrasing asked that your premise be disproven.
Neither is more or less honest than the other, as a general rule - it comes down to the individual. There is your answer.
