Funny how atheism and homosexuality have this in common: Those that come out risk being cut off by their parents.
I think Dan Savage (awesome sex collumnist who hosts the podcast, Savage Love) gives good advice in these situations:
If you think there's a chance your parents will cut you off, stay in the closet until coming out of the closet doesn't potentially make you homeless or in dire straights. Once you are independent and can stand on your own two financial legs, coming out as an atheist will be a whole lot easier.
