I cannot tell you how to handle this situation correctly, however, maybe you can learn from my experience with a similar situation. Me = no real hip on the god idea, Her = loved her some Jeebus. Well, everything was okay between just us for a bit she was tolerant of my views but still disliked them but she felt strongly about the relationship. THEN, other people stuck their noses where it didn't belong - she started getting "advice" from "friends at church" and her pastor. Well, it turns out that she dumps me citing that we "weren't equally yoked" and this idea was pushed by the guy she ended up seeing - the douchebag at her church. He could have cared less about what he was feeding her but he saw an opportunity and went for it.
The guy later ends up arrested for selling meth to all of god's children at the church, she gets put in rehab for addiction to Vicodin and I never heard from her again.
I'm definitely not saying this is what will happen to you but be wary of that "advice" if she starts seeking it especially from other church members, pastors, whatever. Because of their social connection through religion it is most likely she will trust their opinions and put heavy weight on them. It's hard to have a significant other who is so into religion. However, on rare occasion this changes but I've only seen it happen once over the matter of several years.
