Admitting being gay is a much harder endeavor, believe me. Your entire life is turned upside down and even people you thought as friends and family turn hostile or avoid you.
I say come out and filter out of your life those that don't really love you, even your family. If they truly love you, they won't let issues like religion stand in the way. Screw the rest. Be who you want to be; we only get to live once.

Beleive it or not but most people dislike atheists more than they dislike gays (check opinion polls). I actually talked to a gay Christian and he didn't like me very much.

Gay christian? well there's the oxymoron of the day,lol (considering in christian beliefs homosexuality is immoral and unnatural) also you can blame a dislike for atheists on people like Bill Maher, who act like complete ignorant assholes and think there so much smarter than everyone because they don't belive in anything.

Well he certainly was a self loathing individual, I must admit that. LOL @ the unnatural part.

There is a common misconception that just because atheists don't believe in a god, that they don't believe in anything at all. People also like to make it seem like not believing in something is some sort of black mark on a person's character, just so they can look down their noses upon them. For shame.
Maybe you're thinking of agnostics? I have never considered agnosticism as a "religion," per se, but more of a stepping stone on the way to finding what you truly believe. Agnostics are usually at a period in their life when they have lost their "faith" in whatever it is they were raised into but don't know where to go from there. I can't respect people who cite agnosticism as their belief system, as they are simply admitting to their contentment at not understanding their world.
