I'd say in the UK that you're seen as a less normal as a church going Christian than an Atheist. However It's really not the done thing here to talk about belief at all. I could easily go through life here and not hear the word God mentioned at all in everyday conversation, even with Christians. 2 of our 3 main political party leaders are Atheists too.
As far as being gay, there is still a lingering stigma, but it is gradually fading. Amongst younger people there is almost no stigma at all towards gay people. 2/3rd of UK young people are Atheists.
There is a definite link between countries that are less accepting of homosexuality, and those that are more religious.
