I see you're getting lots of support here to defy him, but that would just make things worse for the both of you.
He knows full well that you will become your own person, but it's part of his job to guide you as best he can, as long as he can, and to a large extent, it's his house. If you defy him and fight over it, you hurt his feelings as a father, and spoil the home he wants to keep. You can't win, and you both loose.
In our home, we kids were expected to help do chores, keep our grades up, go to church on Sunday, say grace at table, eat what was served, not cuss, and obey police. When we became teens, the religious stuff became our choice, but you still at least sat quietly at table until grace was said. Somehow, I survived.
Dad was a hobby musician (trombone), and hated my rock & roll, so it mainly got played at my friends' places. Even after I came home for a time after the army, I still respected his right to his home. Mom and dad would welcome anybody I brought home to dinner, a varying group including, musicians, writers, bikers, at least one stripper, and the occasional normal person. Ever single one sat quietly for grace, and the best would then help clear the table and help in the kitchen. The stupid things I did elsewhere caused pain and turmoil, but not there.
Rough quote from Mark Twain, as I recall: "When I was a boy, I found my father so stupid I could barely stand to be in the room with him. After I became a man, I was amazed how much he had learned".
