Is your brother older or younger? He sounds like a young kid.
Sit him down, tell him you want him to understand where you're coming from, and tell him to ask questions. Let him get all the bullshit out there, and you can calmly bat away the flies. Express that atheism is just a lack of belief in any gods, nothing more. It doesn't have to change your relationship with your brother or your parents.
If he tells your parents, then you'll have to deal with that. If your parents aren't really super religious, it's probably worse in your head.

"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
