I think part of the hesitation to come out, is the lack of the feeling that you belong to something. People, no matter their religion and/or background, are very social and need to feel like they fit in some place. In the US you can't turn around without seeing adverts for god and church telling you that you belong to them and they can support you through anything. If the same messages for atheism were as visible I think that would help a lot of people open up about their true feelings.
