As said before, if you are dependent upon your parents for resources, I would wait to to tell them, unless you feel it won't be an issue.
My parents went to church every day like clockwork, but we never, ever discussed god or religion. There were no religious symbols or anything in our house, except for a copy of the bible tucked neatly away on a bookshelf, and they never once told me that they believed in god or that I should believe in god. They just took me to church; That's it. So, on our way to church one Sunday when I was 15, I spoke up and told them that I didn't believe in god, and I didn't think I should be made to got to church anymore. There was a brief discussion about the existence of god and that was it. They never made me go to church again and never spoke a word about it.
So, unless you feel like you're going to get a reaction like that from your parents, I highly advise that you wait until you can stand on your own two feet financially and emotionally.
