If your beliefs, or lack thereof, are causing to much friction, then tell the dickheads what they want to hear.
Do you want friends or not?
That's not good advice at all. I hope you're not serious.
@OP,
I used to be an atheist while in middle school and right through high school as well. If anything, my atheism made some of my friends inquire into their own belief systems and they became more rational and skeptical for it.
Just ignore them or cleverly rebut them wherever necessary. Your frankness and openness might encourage someone else to do the same, if not maybe even change someone's mind on the subject. Also, it might be well advised to have the conviction of your beliefs on the matter(or non-beliefs, as the case may be). If they feel like you're preemptively ashamed or that you feel like an outcast for it, they might have more reason to treat you precisely as you would expect them to.
Just keep in mind who's rational in this whole debate and don't be deterred by the statistical majority side of it.
