If she is truly hardcore about her beliefs, she would not be serious about a relationship once she found out you were an atheist, unless she decided that it was her duty/fate to convert you. That can't end well, IMO. But it should be easy enough to find out.
If the relationship progresses enough, you'll have to have a serious heart-to-heart about it. Lots of religious people see religion as just another routine in their lives, and will have practically no issues getting along with an atheist. But you'll want to know for sure before you take the relationship any further.
Many women tried to convert me before, and I can't quite blame them because I tried to "convert" em too. So I have no say in this.
Anyways, for some time since she was bringing up Christian weddings and baptism issues, that she couldn't thing of not having in the future, our relationship kept going down the drain. I was downright opposed to them and as of 6th of July I had to break up with her. My thread here was mostly a desperate attempt to have second thoughts before my final conclusion.
