Your wife may be unaware that she's offending you. I've been guilty of that before. Most of my closest friends are either atheists or simply not religious, so I've gotten used to talking critically about religion without having to worry about offending people. A couple of years ago I was dating a girl who was a fairly devout Catholic, and more than once I upset her with some off-handed remark that I had made. I felt bad afterward because I always had nothing but the utmost of respect for her religious beliefs, and I never intended to make light of her faith. Perhaps your wife is on the same boat.
I also can't help noting that it seems that you're going to unnecessary lengths to keep your religious faith from interfering with your marriage. I see no reason why you can't read the scriptures in your wife's presence. You should be able to practice your religion around her even if you're not trying to push her to join you and your son.
