I know at first it sounds difficult because you care for your parents. But this is your life and whether they choose to respect your choices or not is up to them. If you want kids, have kids. If you want to be an atheist, be an atheist. If you want to dye your hair blue, dye your hair blue.
Your parents don't have to agree with your choices (as long as you're not breaking the law or anything like that)... but they should respect you and your choices.
TL;DR: Don't live for your parents, live for you.
unless it's against the law to be atheist. Then fuck the law (but better be not so vocal about it)
