Nice. I've always thought playing neutral was the best strategy. If your kiddo ends up being an atheist, it's best that she arrived there through her own questions and reasoning. 

How did the conversation with your wife go? Or did you already provide the basic gist?

I walked out with the Easter Bunny part, as it was getting late and I had housework to get done.  My wife later on sent me this picture which she did not take but my daughter and her titled, "The Meosiah":
