Anyone can change. You make the mistake of equating God with scientifically proven fact.
Your girlfriend will have the nagging doubt: "never be yolked to unbelievers". Whilst I think this is a good rule of thumb - it doesn't help a relationship for the partners to be polar opposites on any opinion. This would have been critical in biblical times when religion featured far higher on anyone's agenda. But today people aren't so religious. People rarely share every interest. That you're together and presumably love each other demonstrates that you share interests enough to sustain the relationship.
You know her and what lengths her faith activities are likely to reach. If it was a cause of major upset between you then I'd think it would be right to reconsider your relationship. Otherwise I'd say it's an issue blown out of proportion.
