I of course agree that both are burdens. My intuition is that being closet atheist would be less of a burden, but I am not sure I can say why verbally. Perhaps it's simply because my atheism seems less central to my life than my sexuality, and I could see feeling differently in different circumstances.

Sure. And I don't mean to claim that there's anything wrong with that, just that it may not be so for everyone.
