Like DBP says, there's no such thing as 'coming out' as an atheist in England so my answer to the OP is 'No, it's much harder to be homosexual than atheistic'. That said, there is a lunatic religious fringe in the UK, too so I imagine that any atheists in that environment may well liken the publication of their religious beliefs to the publication of their sexuality.

If I was superstitious, I might thank my lucky stars for the accident of birth which granted me such fortune. As it is, the best I can do is try to make up for my privilege by fighting for a world in which it's the norm.
