This probably should have been posted under the "Advice" sub-forum, but I'm not a moderator, so I won't get into it.
Congratulations on telling your mom the truth about how you feel. I'm not going to PM you since I don't see why you have a problem with us posting here. Not trying to sound mean or anything.
To make my post some-what of use and if you actually do come back to see this, I will give you something to think about in reguards to your stepfather.
If he's overly religious, the best choice is to tell him right out. Sit down, and have a talk with him. Don't say anything rude like, "I'm atheist, so deal with it!", although I'm sure you know better than that. Maybe say something like, "I want to tell you something very important. I'm not telling you to upset you or to shock you. I'm telling you because I value our relationship and want to be honest." Something where he'll perhaps feel where you're coming from.
Good luck. I hope everything works out.

Well do you like him? If not then why tell him? If religion everr comes up in a coversation then you can say then. If he asks why you hid it then just say "I wasn't hiding it. I just didn;t see any point in telling you."

Topic moved, since these subs took hard earned gold and should be filled 3nodding
I have to go, but I'll have some advice edited in 3nodding
EDIT: I agree with Julie. Tell him, if he gets mad, well, tell him that's the way it is for you. If he can't accept it then he is immature, but it was how he was raised.

If he is overly religious then I think the best way to tell him would be point blank. Just explain that this is your opinion and he has to accept that. [.Julie Booly.]
