-Watch the show of Atheist Vs. Creationist debate with your husband or the movie: The history of the world part 1 [1981 film]
-Or walking with your husband through the streets where hateful Christians, preaching priests and people with the posters with message: "Repent! Or burn in hell!" are commonly seen.
-Or find the movie with the story of romance love [or forbidden love] between man and woman, yet their families' difference of religion ripped lovers apart. The story of Romeo and Juliet, for example. Afterwards, You can ask him randomly, subtle question: which do your husband value more, religion or love?

If unsure, there's possibility your husband knew.

I don't know your husband, but I can say this one:
Soon or later, your husband will inevitably learn the fact that you are atheist. If he is being disrespectful and being intolerant towards you. You can tell your husband if he won't adapt, be tolerant, be respectful for your love, divorce him. It's obvious that husband value his religion more than love.
