When you say you are both of different religions do you mean you don't belong to the same church or denomination (e.g., he's Roman Catholic; you're Baptist, sort of thing?)Or do you mean that you are totally different? Such as you are Christian and he's Muslim, Jewish or Hindu?If so, you need to realize that big cultural differences go along with a situation like that, and not to mention family expectations.......Your parents anger most likely stems from their concern for your well-being. With all due respect, you are only 16 or 17, and they've "been around the block" a few more years than you.......Post again if you want to tell us more about it.

Lawfully they have no say who you date now as the Age of Consent in the U.K. is 16. Meaning only YOU can decide who you choose to date or sleep with.
There comes a time in a person's life when they have to stop trying to please their parents and do what they can to make themselves happy.
If that involves dting someone who differs in opinion about what god, or even if there is one, to worship and how, then so be it.
They will never STAY angry at you. Eventually they will realise what their predjudice has made them lose and ask forgivenss.
