If you don't think they'll take it well, don't tell them...at least not until you are out on your own.

Your parents might be more understanding than you realized. Most parents (in their 40's?) grew up in the 70's, a pretty funky time. Besides that they've lived long enough to see a lot of bad and good stuff in the world.
If you tell them it's more likely they will try to change your mind, and more likely they will think you are just a confused teenager who's exploring life. It's very unlikely they will kick you out if they so strongly want you to go to Heaven. Their version of it, that is.
You can always 'pretend' to be changed when/if they try to talk to you about it. You can say,
'Oh. I guess you're right. I never looked at it that way.'
Or something like that.
If you really want to you can refuse to change. You will feel better for a little while but here is where it is a bit more likely they MIGHT kick you out. It's very likely they'd take you to church more often and take you to a priest to straighten things out. Be calm and say exactly what you believe and you will have the best chance them.

I'm no Wiccan, though I am a witch.
I never really told my parents. I would allow them to see the books I rented from the library on the subject and simply stated I was studying it to get a broaden view of what was out there in the world. I'ld drop off certain hints from time to time. Eventually I started wearing a pentagram and then they posed the question Are you a witch?, and I just simply responded perhaps.
Perhaps you could do somewhat of what I did. Rent books to read, and don't hide them. When they ask, explain that you're studying it, and then perhaps explain what you learned about Wicca to them. Perhaps start a conversation about it. If you feel it's alright then to tell them, do, if not, don't.

Merry meet happy
You have the choice to make. You can tell your parents and have a chance to get kicked out, maybe your parents won't. Or you can hide being Wiccan and you can try and find some people who can teach you things about Wiccans and Pegans. It's very important to get a mentor. A mentor can teach you Rituals and ways of being Pegan.
I have one and it's going great. Unfortunately I had to move 3,000 miles away but it's still working out. Back to the trouble with your parents hopefully if you tell them they will accept you. If you dont tell them and they find out the consequences might be worse.
I wish you the best of luck to which choice you chose.
Blessed be.

So dont tell them. It is not absolutely essential for them to know, and when you're on your own, you can tell them...

wicca is between you and your beliefs, its not necessary that anyone else know. just continue your path .
And as for it being difficult to not tell them, just do what you want in your head.
example: family sitting around the table, saying grace, in your head, simply replace words like God with Goddess or mother nature or another substitution, that way you dont feel too oppressed but you dont blow your cover.
also, if you are new to the craft, do your research CAREFULLY to be sure that you dont be misinformed.
