You don't need to tip toe around her. You need to firmly state: "I have told you countless times I do not want to go to church. If you would like to continue our friendship, you will not disrespect me or my decisions by constantly countering them, because true friends accept each other for who they are. I haven't asked you to give up your religion."
Or something to that effect.
Well, strictly speaking, the friend is doing her religious duty by inviting her friend to attend church services. If her friend doesn't want to go that's fine. However at that point the church- goer is directed by Christian doctrine to end her friendship with the person.
People end friendships all the time for any number of reasons. Some things are not negotiable.
