Did you find out your wife was Christian, or did your wife find out your wife was Christian? Either way, do not change your world view because of that, but do not ask her to change her world view either. If she wants to discuss it, she does so at her own peril. (but don't you want to go to heaven with me Jim?) I've been through a similar situation, the girl I was engaged to before I met my wife turned religious on me about six months before the date. She insisted that I convert and I told her to hit the road if she was going to be that insensitive to my beliefs. Good luck with that (even though I'm pretty sure it's hypothetical)

Man , as first how did you get married without knowing your partner.
Second , write on paper what are your major beliefs that makes you an atheist,
third, in talk with your wife find out what kind of christian is she,
logical, devout, ..
if she takes christianity serius and has logic to comprehend truths you can have a constructive dialogue about atheism and christianity
on the other way if she is just devout, and stubborn , whitouth a will to make a dialogue , you better forget this conversation if you wont to save your marriage.
I realy hope that it is the first case , then you can communicate your views, and have a healty discussion, and still live togheter, until one side prevaills.
Since I am christian, I realy hope that she can win, but for your sake I hope that she can logicaly take you to the Christ, since I think that this is the only way for you and now.

Wait...I'm confused
You FOUND OUT your wife was Christian, FOUND OUT?!
How did you not know that before the wedding?
I don't see why an Atheist and a Christian can't be married, just determine how the kids are going to handle religion.

Well if she's your wife and you recently found out about her being a Christian what did you talk about before the wedding? Was this an arranged marriage.
Well, she's your now, I guess you'll both have to learn to accept that the other despite the different beliefs. Your respective views on religion or God, or a lack thereof, would have been a really good thing to settle prior to marrage especially if you plan on procreating.

I guess the answer depends on you. How much do you really care about her? How badly do you want the marriage to work out? Are you afraid that your beliefs(or lack there of) will be challenged?
If you care enough about her and want the marriage to work, then question 3 is irreleveant and you should stay. You can make it work if you tolerate each others beliefs. Marriage involves alot (ALOT) of compromise and tolerance. Anyone who says differently has never been married or is divorced!

Umm...I think this is something that you two should have known BEFORE you got married. If she became a Christian after you got married, then you should respect her decision and talk to her to find out why she made the choice. Maybe you'll change your mind, too. If you don't, you should still respect her decision.

No one cares if you're an atheist. You try to get attention by your atheist questions which are poorly thought out anyway.
Stop trying to harass the christian population. We are who we are.. and you are who you are..

go to church w/ her and give it a try. if you don't like it then you are both entitled to your beliefs. but in all honesty. don't you think that is something that you should have known about one another before you got married ? if you are that concerned, pick out a counselor together and go see one. religion and beliefs seem to be a pretty big deal to you since you have had many previous questions in regards to this subject.

You got married to a person that you didn't even know the religion of? ouch. Why should you care, if you were a true atheist you wouldn't.

Man, if I ever found out my husband has a religion, I would have to end our relationship immediately!
