You should tell them. Yes, maybe they'll have a hard time dealing with it, but it's so important to let that conflict happen. It's important for the personal growth of all of you. If nobody ever challenges our opinions we will never get any wiser.
To a child the world is black and white. Everything is either good or bad, right or wrong. Of course the real world is way more complex and the way we learn that is through meeting different people who challenge our beliefs. Probably your parents chose to live in an environement where that didn't ever happen.
I've met many christians just aswell as atheists who were narrow minded like that. Not challenging those people is basically giving up on them.
Don't give up on your parents. They might surprise you.
Should I tell my parents I'm an atheist?

Thanks for that, I suppose you're right. I'll probably tell them... after I move out.
