      “Devout atheist” strikes me as somewhat of an oxymoron, perhaps an ironic one, as “devout” is usually a tag given to believers, not non-believers.

      To whom is he trying to prove Jesus was a mythical character? ?If he’s already an atheist, then isn’t he trying to persuade his wife, to reason her out of her new-found faith. So:

      The true story of a journalist who, when his wife becomes a Christian, uses his investigative skills to convince her that Christ is a myth.
      (25 words)

      And, of course, since the movie is targeted to a Christ-believing audience, his character arc is obvious and obligatory, what the genre requires.

      I’d just drop “who believes in the truth”. Then you have room for the fall out. “Ending his marriage in the process” etc

      I would rephrase the description to “…strict atheist…”, drop the part about true story and jump straight to the plot proving Jesus was a myth. I’d also add a few hints as to how or where he will do it.

      E.g:
      After his wife becomes a born again Christian, an atheist journalist must uncover evidence in Jerusalem to prove to her that Jesus was a myth.
