I am with Clueless Morgan. You have a good gauge on your parents by this point in your life. If you think they will react in such a way that will be detrimental to you, then wait three years. Study hard, go to college in another state, study hard some more, and get a good job. Tell them at your leisure. If your parents are calmer, more nurturing, and less likely to freak out, then tell them, but be prepared for a reaction. It will be a surprise, and they are allowed to have a reaction.
I didn't tell my parents until I was a freshman in college. I knew I would not have to rely on them for money any longer, and that there was nothing they could do to 'coerce' me back into their religion. They didn't do that anyways, but I did not take the risk.
So, really, there is no way to make this easier. You have to use your judgement as to what is the best way to do it.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
