If they really want to atone for their homophobia, perhaps they could convince their brethren that gays aren't the evil, perverted sinners they think they are.
Well, how should that account for something I wonder?
Their holy books tell them that it is indeed sinful.
So what really allows for these people to step over their own faith and simply tell that gays are not being sinful at all?
It's called being a decent human being. It's wonderful that many Christians do show respect for others, despite sexual preference or beliefs or lack there of. If every Christian was tolerant, I'd have nothing nasty to say about them, I'd be praising them for being so decent. I'll still think their beliefs are a little... weird but I'd have a lot of respect for them.
As Bertrand put it "Love is wise, hatred is foolish". Would be nice if every Christian knew that, and Muslim. Tolerance encourages peace, intolerance encourages conflict.

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
