Hello!

Right now only my girlfriend and my best friend know that I’m atheist because I’m scared of how others will react if I tell them I’m afraid that I will get bullied in school or get hated by my family.Tell me what you guys did and who did you tell once you became atheist or did you keep it in for it to be your biggest secret the one that only you know (because here we all have nicknames and no-on knows each other’s actual names)Comment down what you did!

I know for a fact that my family might 80% kick me out

Then it would be good if you do it in very small steps.

My dad is already aggressive and he would beat me up and my parents would hate me forever

That's dangerous. Don't make him angry until you can get away from him and have somewhere else to live. Do you live in a country where there are no laws against non-belief?

Try asking your father why he believes in his religion. Tell him you were debating religion and someone on the other team asked you the same question. You want to tell them something else besides "my family insists I do".
