So, for argument's sake, imagine that your girlfriend (An atheist) extolled the virtues of homeopathic remedies citing her numerous personal experiences as evidence that they work wonders for her? Could you keep your shit together and manage to simply reply, "That's nice for you." Most people have to do this to have friendships, but it is especially important to be able to do this when in a relationship.

Oddly enough I don't have a problem doing that. It's when I am asked my opinion on the matter that we get into trouble. Because I can hold off on judgment for the sake of diplomacy, but I will not lie for the sake of keeping the peace.
Quick example I thought of: A friend of mine has a mother that believes in reincarnation. She firmly believes that in her previous life she was a Jewish boy gassed in Auschwitz. I can say "Okay" and leave it at that, but when she asked me if I believed in that I just told her flatout that I see no evidence to support something as reincarnation.
