Do you believe this "coming out" process to be as difficult and stressful as coming out as a homosexual?

And if so, how about this:

If you are both an atheist and homosexual, would it be better to "come out" to your parents on both issues at the same time to save on grief and surprise?

Neither would be attended with any degree of difficulty if you hang out with educated, intelligent, enlightened people.
