I wouldn't unless you are a million percent sure they share the same views as you. Since you aren't sure, you only suspect that they might be sympathetic, then don't tell them. You don't know whether the indoctrination they have received will overpower their loyalty to a friend and simply hearing that you have doubts might be enough to make them tell someone and then you're sunk. Don't assume that just because they don't pray 5 times a day and because they have friends that are female that they automatically agree with you. Indoctrination is a powerful thing. Be very careful how you proceed.

As others have said, it's probably best to not tell anyone anything until you're financially independent and, hopefully, out of the country where your safety is less of an issue if you do come out.

what if 95% of the ruling family, and 2/3 of the public is on the 'down low' too ??

Pipe dream. But an interesting thought experiment.
Teenaged X-Files obsession + Bermuda Triangle episode + Self-led school research project = Atheist.
