In my opinion, i think some or most atheist are formerly religious or they already had a religious background. So yeah, subconsciously they had some feelings. Like me for some instance

When atheists say they don't believe in god they actually do, subconsciously 
Are you one of those Jesus was born in America people..
Is that the only argument you have?
Personally I believe in the great and all powerful pink unicorn in the earth. When you die, if you are accepted by the great pony you get transformed into a pony and live for ever on the fields of the great pony in constant happyness.
Prove me wrong.
DO YOU DARE TO GO AGAINST THE RULE OF THE PINK UNICORN!?!?!?!
The black horse will stamped over those that go against the will of the pink unicorn for all eternity. Having your body crushed and rebuilt until the end of time is the fate for those who go against the wishes of the great unicorn.
Everyone believe in Her Hornyness The Pink Unicorn. Some just pretend they don't for some reason. Its pretty sad really

Well, that's certainly possible, but the study's a bit ambiguous IMO. Would you see similar results if you replaced "God" with "Aliens" or "Ghosts"?
I don't think that peoples' emotional response from something is necessarily related to their belief in it.
Also bear in mind that most atheists don't claim 100% that there is no god, just that the evidence for a god is not strong enough to logically take a position of belief for one.

Atheists Become Emotionally Aroused When Daring God to Do Terrible Things
We examined whether atheists exhibit evidence of emotional arousal when they dare God to cause harm to themselves and their intimates. In Study 1, the participants (16 atheists, 13 religious individuals) read aloud 36 statements of three different types: God, offensive, and neutral. In Study 2 (N = 19 atheists), 10 new stimulus statements were included in which atheists wished for negative events to occur. The atheists did not think the God statements were as unpleasant as the religious participants did in their verbal reports. However, the skin conductance level showed that asking God to do awful things was equally stressful to atheists as it was to religious people and that atheists were more affected by God statements than by wish or offensive statements. The results imply that atheists' attitudes toward God are ambivalent in that their explicit beliefs conflict with their affective response.
