i can't tell my family i'm an atheist

hey guys. i've recently come to terms with the me leaving Islam and being an atheist. it seemed inevitable really, ever since i was a kid i would listen to my parent go on about religious beliefs and heaven and hell and so on and always feeling very skeptical about it and it all seemed like fairy tales to me. i was really young like 11 or 12 when i would sit in my after school Islamic class and listen to the teacher talk about how everyone will be judged based on the choices they made during their life but then i would ask the teacher "if god created everyone and knows what they will do before creating them, why would he punish them for making the choices premeditated by god before creating them?" the teacher would be stumped and had no answer and avoided the question. after that i started to question everything and as you probably know that isn't very popular with most religious people including my family. i don't like participating in praying or going to religious classes, it all just seems so ridiculous when looking at it from an outside perspective but i can't tell my family because i don't want them to hate me or kick me out but i feel so dishonest pretending like i believe when i don't. my mum gets really angry at me about the fact that i don't pray or fast during Ramadan. i have tried to subtly let them know that i questions the beliefs by starting conversations about certain things to do with the religion but when i do i seem to trigger off an angry outburst where they ask me if im a non believer but then i have to backpedal to avoid adding fuel to the fire. this is a really uncomfortable situation and its getting increasingly more frustrating my the day. do i just tell them or do i just pretend? its a really sticky situation does anyone else have a similar problem? any advice would be great. thanks
