Hello, welcome to the forums
I'm very sorry to hear what has happened. Sadly it's not the first time I've heard this, it's quite common. Religion can be incredibly divisive and people are cast out of families for daring to disagree, and people like yourself distanced because of a lack of religious belief.
Based on what you've said, it sounds like religion is more important to her than human relationships. If that is the case, then I agree with the others that you've dodged a bullet finding this out (relatively) early.
Just maybe if she calms down for a bit she'll reconsider. All I could suggest is frankly talking it all through with her, cards on the table. If she can't handle you being an atheist, then really that's all there is to it.
Again, my sympathies
