Because of course they know the truth for a fact....and can tell you how everything works and everything about history and the origin of man and the earth....they have faith that they know all...and some have faith that they do.
And just like those that do believe in it those that don't think that they can possibly be wrong. They have faith that they have it all figured out.
But do we really?..the more we learn the more we find out that we don't know shit...case in point..the need for string theory...which basically says that all things are possible.

faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
