I don't agree with my family on religious issues?

I have grown up in a Christian home. So, as I have gotten older, I have realized that I don't really agree with my parents on religious issues much anymore. I'm not going to go into detail, as I do not want to start any arguments or even heated discussions with anyone, but just know that I really don't see eye to eye with anything my parents believe anymore. I honestly am not even sure of what I believe at the moment. There is no way I can tell my parents that I don't agree with much of their beliefs, as they center their entire lives around it. They also still force me to go to church as I live under their roof, (Which I completely respect). I'm just worried about how they'll react in the future when they find out I reject some of the things that they've taught me. My dad is also extremely controlling and thinks that even after I am living on my own he will be able to have a say in my life (Who I date, live with, etc.) What should I do? Also, here is a link to a question I asked a long time ago that might better help you understand the situation. https://similarworlds.com/19-Spirituality-Religion/1282998-Can-my-parents-force-me-to-go-to-church
NOTE: Sorry, this is going to be long, but I feel that some background is needed for this question.

The Bible is full of wisdom and many scientific facts not discovered by man until 1000's of years later the world being a sphere being one fact. Quarantine to stop the spread of disease another. I have a strong faith but no religion. Religion is an invention and divides rather than heals. You don't need religion to have a faith. The Bible also teaches faith hope and charity are virtues which make us better people but Love conquers all and even though we should have faith without love we are nothing.

@ethanstaid Holy crap! Ancient Jewish peasants knew more than today's scientists?
