Respect his beliefs. Why don't you stay home with him? Not think about that, and that how he feels.

You cannot. Just annoy with your good works.
The Bible says turn your husbands with action, not arguing. When he sees how Godly you are, he will get jealous and hopefully ashamed.
1Pe 3:1 Likewise, wives, be subject to your own husbands, so that even if some do not obey the word, they may be won without a word by the conduct of their wives--
1Pe 3:2 when they see your respectful and pure conduct.

Just sit down and have a serious discussion about it, make sure he understands how important it is to you. But you're going to have to respect his decision. He's a grown man and he can decide for himself if he wants to go to church. If you can't accept that, how much do you want to change him and are you willing to risk your marriage for it?
Speaking as an Atheist... I have several Christian friends who don't go to church, they think God doesn't need a house to listen to you.

You can't. Your husband is his own person. You should not tell him what to think, how to feel...what to do. God gave your husband free will. It is his choice whether or not to go to church, not yours.
Sorry to be so blunt, but it's the truth.
The more you push him, the more you run the risk of ruining your marriage.

You should have talked this out before you got married. Many couples just get married and don't discuss money, religion, where to live, etc....this is a good example of talking everything out before getting married.
Right now you just don't cut him down and make him feel bad and pray. Your in for a long ride possibly because until he wants to, he won't go. Good luck.

Don't. I'm not a Christian but I used to be. It's not something you want to force on someone. If they don't want to, that's their choice.. don't be a nagging wife (I say that with utmost respect). My dad is religious but does not go to church because he doesn't get anything out of it. I never did either.

I agree with MeN, pray for him. Don't nag, don't manipulate, don't threaten, don't whine (not saying you are doing these things). Prayer is enormously powerful. There's a great book "The Power of a Praying Wife".

As a Christian you should be following your husband

Presuming you've already asked him repeatedly, I'd suggest that you stop asking him, and accept him the way he is without judging him - God does.
