In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
The principle in Shari’a is
لَا طَاعَةَ لِمَخْلُوقٍ فِي مَعْصِيَةِ الْخَالِق
المعجم الكبير للطبراني (18/ 170)
Translation: There is no obedience to anyone when it entails disobedience to Allah.
One cannot obey a creation while disobeying Allah. Your parents want you to do anything unislamic, you cannot obey them. Tell them you love them and care for them but you love Allah more and have to obey Allah. Although they are your parents but Allah created you and them and we have to return to Allah one day. Therefor you are concerned about what you will answer to Allah. Say all of this with greatest love and respect. You should try to get some respectful person who knows Deen to talk to your parents. It may be a good idea to obtain authentic Islamic literature of various topics and keep it within sight of your parents. Playing CDs of lectures of Ulama on Sunnah etc. will also be useful.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
