Don't really know what to tell you...
How is she forcing god onto your baby? Did she get the baby Christened? Or is she taking baby to mass on Sundays? Reading god-themed baby-books?
If she just wanted to get the baby christened, and there's been nothing else, I'd be pissed too, but what can you do? But if she's doing ongoing things, like taking baby to church every week, she's clearly breaking your prior agreement. That's kind of a big deal, at least it would be to me...
I guess you've got to decide if the breach of your agreement is a deal breaker, and somehow reconcile the larger issue of incompatible faiths...
We've got a few members with spouses with differing belief systems... Maybe they'll have some good advice.
