Yeah, I think that's a reaction that a lot of people get when they come out as a non-believer. It can be pretty tough. I can't really offer too much advice, because this is still something I'm dealing with.
Quick questions: are you overtly out as agnostic atheist? Like, is there any doubt in your family's minds? Or have you left some doubt? If you have, it.might help to take things slowly, just dropping hints at first.
Oh, and +1 for mention of 1984/doublethink.
