I've gotten a lot freer about posting non-religious and atheistic things on facebook and no one has in my family has said anything about it. It's just not talked about in my family.
It's hard for me to imagine the stress of living with a big secret and having to create a whole duplicate online life in order to pursue it so your family doesn't find out about it. That's gotta be tough.
