They are your parents and pretty much no matter what you will love them and seek their approval. And they love you and think they are doing what is best for you, misguided as it may seem. I wouldn't doubt that they love you.
They just sound a tad immature with how they are dealing with your boyfriend and your religious choices. I would look at it that way, and when they act like babies just act even MORE mature and treat them like the child and you act like the parent. Maybe that will help enlighten them.
But if it doesn't at least you'll have the satisfaction of knowing you acted correctly. What more can you do? You CANNOT let them run your life. They'll at least have to respect you, even if they don't agree.
