Done properly, this method can be employed without "gravity" being a problem. For instance, start dropping hints that you're gay... then, after some time, say, "Mom, Dad... Sit down, I have something to tell you."
In certain parental situations, the revelation that one is an atheist would be met with relief.
You gotta be inventive sometimes.
