Welcome!
With respect to parents, I would choose the path of least resistance, especially if you are still living under their roof. Them dragging you to church just reinforces the idea that they are insecure of their beliefs. So, any rebellion on your part, would just stir up their insecurities more. It is a tough situation, but once you live on your own, you will enjoy being free.
With respect to bf, It would entirely depend on situation. Currently, wife and I are very different with respect to theistic beliefs. She believes entirely, but I do not. It is a topic that we tread on lightly, and rarely discuss, since it can bring heated discussion. Although it is nice that the wife does not follow any organized religion, so she is not constantly preaching. How much preaching does your bf do? That is the bottom line, does he expect you to follow his line of perception with respect to theistic matters?
So, that is the question you must ask yourself. Does he expect you to believe like him or can you live happily without stepping on each other's toes? It is a delicate matter and one that should be approached very cautiously.
