How hard each is of course depends extremely on where you are. In most of Western Europe, no one cares much whether you're an atheist, so coming out as gay on average will be harder than coming out atheist. In the bible belt, both can be equally hard, but I think anything connected to sex tends to be worse. In particular, very fundie places will usually also be homophobic, so there will be few places where coming out as gay is no problem, but coming out as atheist is.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
