Well I know it seems to be an overused saying, but communication is extremely important in any relationship, especially a marriage. Let her know exactly how you feel about religion and that you don't want to indoctrinate your kids into it. If you don't want to go to church, tell her how you feel about it. I was kind of under the impression, too, that she didn't know that you were an atheist, but if she knows at least that's a step in the right direction. But let her know that this isn't "just a fad" and you have completely made your mind up.
The biggest thing is to explain your reasons for not believing and let her make up her own mind. It's not right of you to try to change her any more than it would be for her to try to change your beliefs. And you have to weigh your love for her against any potential problems your religious differences are going to cause. And believe me, they will cause problems, especially if her whole family is fundamentalist Christian.

Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
