I have not been in your situation, but I can relate in some ways, being ethnically Jewish and an atheist, and also having some profound world view differences with my parents. In your place, I would try to gain financial independence as fast as possible. This would both make your safe from any threats on part of your father, and (probably) make your father more reluctant to escalate, having no power to enforce control and (probably) having no desire to lose the connection with eir child, even if the child is an unbeliever.
In any case, you have my sincere sympathy and I hope everything will turn out for the best.
