Hey, I'm from Alabama, too. I'm 22 and I'm way out. Most of my professors know I'm an atheist.
I feel like an expert on coming out because I've had to come out so many times: as an atheist, as a lesbian, as a vegetarian, as a feminist, etc. It's my general belief that you should live life as out as possible because it just takes a lot less energy to do, and it feels damn good, but I understand that that way of living may not be practical for everyone. I've hardly had any backlash from any of my coming-outs, either, but my family is an anomaly and I know that. Nobody knows better than you whether you should come out.
If you want to just talk, message me on the site, or whatever.
