Um?
OK, pardon me for not believing that anyone can turn around quite that fast. But I really have my doubts. Fortunately for you, there is no atheist of board inquiry, no power of excommunication, and no blasphemy. So if you no longer believe, you are an atheist. If you are toying with us, I doubt you'll do us any harm.
If you are for real though, I think you are in for a rough time, because it sounds like both your inner and social life are built around Christianity and huge changes like this are not easy.
As to coming out, think hard about how, why, when, and to whom. I suggest a book. It doesn't claim to have all the answers, but it is useful. Coming Out Atheist: How to Do It, How to Help Each Other, and Why by Greta Christina.

If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
