Interpretation of surah baqara: ayath 278-279

If my understanding is correct muslims ought to follow the examples of Allah and the prophet. And according to this ayath, it says if you don't give up interest, fear war with the prophet and Allah.

So does that mean muslims ought to go to war against people who take and give interest or is there any other interpretation.

How to break the news that I am not Muslim without breaking my parents hearts?

​

I became an atheist at the age of 14. And I kinda told my family, who were already pretty religious. Like I had to go to mosque daily , four times(morning/subh wasn't that emphasised). And afterwards they became even more strict and observational. The day I told them my mom cried. Dad was on the brink of it. It was a painful sight. Now they still know I am an atheist, but still makes me go to mosque. It kind of feels like they think that if they ignore it hard enough I won't be anymore. And they use arguments like what do you loss from going, or you are just immature now.

Every time they say these kinds of things I can see what lies behind it. Years , lifetime of devotion.even though these arguments are simple, and easily reputable, I can't refute them. Cuz of i do , it'll break them.theirs is a worldview build around that one fact. Everything in their world and life was based on that fact. But now I am rejecting the foundation of their worldview. So can someone please tell me how to tell them that I don't believe what they do without breaking their heart or their worldview completely?
