"Christians aren't perfect. They just want you to be." I won't rant, but if it's not for him, it's really not for him.
On the other hand, the guy's married to your mother, which means it would be OK for you to step in and ask that he be a better man for her... unless she drinks and swears all the time, in which case you don't have much of a leg to stand on.
In terms of him poking fun, "Two kids died last night, where's your God now?" - "Sittin next to them, watching the game on the really, really, really big screen TV." Yeah, I'm bummed out by all the suffering in the world, but I remind myself that the good get eternal paradise while the pricks get eternal punishment (or something of the like).
You also need to remind him that he needs to simply let up off you. It's not ok for him to take jabs for fun at what you believe in. And in terms of it being hard to see your mother, let her know how you feel and maybe she'll help him knock it off.
