I honestly think some people overcomplicate these things.. I imagine it must be easier for me to say as my family (and thus my upbringing) was free from religion, and I didn't really have to "come out."
These things are generally better discussed in person, although I think there isn't a yes or no answer here. The key thing is that you need to ensure you communicate to your folks in a way that they that your views make you happy. Atheism, at the end of the day, is pro-life and drives me to live intensely. To go out and achieve, make things happen.. Just avoid getting into any sort of discussions in the very beginning (e.g creation vs reason, etc etc).
Good luck talking to your family, mate!
