Dealing with overly emotional christian parents?

Dealing with overly emotional christian parents?
Ive been pretending to be a christian for the last year, and i decided i would just be honest with myself and call myself an atheist. Ive been hiding it from my parents for a while, but after a sunday sermon today i couldnt help but rip the pastors logic to shreds in the car ride home. Some how the argument that ensued led to talk about my religious position, and i told them i was just a "questioning agnostic".
My mom literally started crying, and talking about how she had failed at parenting and life because i wasnt a christian anymore..
My dad just about disowned me, and was yelling i could do whatever and he didnt care.
My parents told me not to just become a christian again to pretend for them, but im seriously considering it. Should i feel so bad for my lack of faith? I dont know what to do right now..
Has anyone dealt with a situation similar to this?
