Hi, it sounds more like you're becoming irreligious as opposed to de-converting to atheism.
I'm sorry to hear your family is dysfunctional, but your father cannot live your life for you. He cannot dictate who you can and cannot marry. That's not the characteristic of a loving parent, but a power-mad control-freak who wants to exert his authority over you.
Nevertheless if you're dependant upon him, it would be best to concentrate on your University studies first. Make sure you're capable of standing on your own two feet before coming out and confessing you don't share his beliefs. It would also be best if you took precautionary steps to protect against the possibility of him turning violent.
