DA, I suspect that when you come out of the closet, it will be explosively. You're living a lie and the resentment and anger are obvious even through a computer monitor. It's only going to build. The longer you wait, the more likely you'll go full sith-mode (minus the red light saber) on your father.
Are you really afraid he will put you on the streets? It doesn't sound like it from the picture you've painted. Withhold college money? You can probably find an alternative.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

No, I don't fear he'll put me on the streets. I still don't wanna risk losing college money.
When I'll come out of the closet, I will try not to explode. I'll hint at atheism before telling them I'm atheist. I will be financially stable then, so there will be no need to try to convince them that my path is good.

Parents can be cruel, especially when their love is supposed to be unconditional. I made the mistake of coming out of the closet to my father during my first year of college when I was in no way financially stable, and he disowned me; essentially leaving me homeless far away from where I had been raised.

I'm sorry for that.
