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