Telling my parents that I'm an atheist- need advice.

When you have this discussion, they shouldn't be in a position of being able to punish you severely for not agreeing with their beliefs. Sounds like, especially, you don't know how your father will react.

If you can't contain yourself, have a plan and make preparations in case you're thrown out. Parents who previously seemed genuinely loving have been known to react this way, and if there's even a 10% chance that will happen, you should be prepared for it.

This is excellent advice and should be heeded.
