Do you guys have any advice on what I should do here?

My dad told me himself he'd disown me if I wasn't muslim and so did my mum but judging by her reaction I know she cares. They don't know I am atheist and I don't think they will ever accept me if they knew I was :(
My dad wants me to be happy but he sort of puts religion first if you know what I mean

Okay I will give it time, my brother keeps inboxing me and saying my dad wants to speak to me and that I should answer my phone. I obviously can't lol. You're okay with your parents though now right?

I was a few years after I left home, and I could be again if I chose to now, but I choose not to be ok with them. I have a longer history with my family, and they have done a lot of stuff even after I left home so I wouldn't use my relationship with them as a marker for how things might turn out for you.

But you parents love you, they will keep trying, and once you are settled and the storm of them adjusting has passed there is a chance you can build a relationship with them.

Truth is it may have to still be a lie, so many muslim parents can't deal with the reality of an ex muslim child, its just too much for them to accept. So it ight be that they can adjust to you living alone, and living westernised, but mentally I am not sure if they could really ever adjust to you being an ex muslim without disowning you.

I could be wrong though. I think we have one or two members that are still being accepted by their parents even as ex muslims, but its a rare thing. Many more just coose to fake it when they visit their parents. You may need to do that one day, but it will be your choice.

For now focus on getting your life in order and try to ignore the calls and messages as much as you can. Things will calm down, it will just take time.
