Believe me, we've heard this story many times before. It is unlikely you are going to change their minds, although stranger things have happened.
Of course it depends on how your parents may react to finding a heathen devil in their midst. Some go ape-shit, others experience a slight inconvenience.
No shortage of the Devil's Own here.

The web littered with good sites origins.com being one of the best written places, and Thunderf00t's being one of the best video series. But unless your parents have an interest in learning or at least a willingness, knowing what to show them won't help. Similarly, any good book about the founding of this country makes it clear we are not founded on Christianity, though most of the country was and is Christian.my parents especially my mother are not willing to learn, that much is clear. thanks for the advice
As for coming out atheist, you are 15 and know your parents. I don't know them. You have to weight the possible consequences. And the consequences for children can be severe.
