then in your script, write
  gpg --passphrase-fd=0 rest_of_command_specs <secret
I will probably end up doing this, but I am interested if there is any way to securely take data from a bash variable and put it to a file. Is there a write function? I would normally use echo, but that is not secure. Is this a task that is beyond bash?

bash has it's own bultin echo, in case your security concern was the fork()/exec() ?
