Do not talk to them about religion. Simple. If they continue to talk to you about it after you have POLITELY and calmly stated your desire to not discusss it, leave the room or the house if you have to do so.
-
Just tell them you'll search for God when you're ready. Please don't push it now it will just make me less interested.
-
Me and my parents have a strict no talking about religion policy. It sort of works most of the time

You probably can't, shy of not talking to them at all. However, I'd suggest sitting down with them, saying exactly what you think, and letting them know that you'll tell them when/if you want to discuss it again.

Turn 18, and move out.

Give them one day to get it all off their chests. One big "philosophy summit" day where they get to promote the merits of their religion, and you get to counter their arguments. While you certainly are not going to convince them to abandon their faith, at least they will learn that you have thought about your position thoroughly, that it's not some whim. Then, once they have said everything they can say about it, in the future you can always say "We have had this discussion already. Do you have anything NEW to add that you did not say then?"
-
lie to them and tell them you've seen the light. return to your religion and do your normal worship. just don't put heart into it. and remind yourself that it's all fake. and this is the best acting career you could ever hope for. you can't see the cameras and you get free food and a great room full of stuff in return. then when you move out say i'm atheist when you find your own place. and celebrate.

Move out of their house and stop eating their food.
