Since you haven't specified your religious beliefs I'll assume the worst (atheist) for the sake of argument. The truth is that it shouldn't be a problem unless you make it a problem; religion doesn't become an issue in a relationship until children are involved then you've got to decide what kind of religious upbringing you want for the kids. Ditto with marriage; if it bothers you to be married in a church you'll have to deal with that. This girl knows your beliefs and is still with you, if it doesn't bother her try and do the same.

While I haven't had to deal with this issue yet I've been wondering myself what to do should it arise and all the writings I've come across suggest there's little to worry about. Women, for the most part, don't take religion the same way as men do so she isn't going to wear you down and convert you. I would go easy on the religious discussions with her for a while but if you ever get married then feel free to debate occasionally it won't tear the marriage apart. Mostly you'll just have to learn to compromise; go to church on a Sunday for her and she can do something in return (like read a book critical of religion).
