I've dated a number of african women and religion seems to be a common thread among their culture, despite literally being on differing ends of the same continent, so I really do understand what you mean when you say that their faith is ingrained in their culture.
But I'll give you the same advice I give everyone. Don't lie to him.
If you're not a christian regardless of anything else, it's not going to be beneficial to you and certainly not him to base your relationship with one another on a lie. Even if your relationship suffers because of the truth, at least that relationship will be based on honesty.
If you lie to him, you'll be lying to him and yourself every single moment of every day until he discovers otherewise or you come clean and I guarentee he'll be hurt that much more to not only discover the truth, but also discover that you've been lying all this time to him.
I'm not saying you should confront him, but if the subject ever comes up, you should definately not hold back for his sake or yours. That's my advice to you.
