Don't. You can each have your own beliefs. Respect her decisions if you want her to respect yours. Would you want her to try and convert you to Christianity? Probably not, so "to each his own".
There's plenty of ways to compromise about things. Like when it comes to holidays like Christimas and Easter, let her attend church if she wishes while you stay home and make her a nice breakfast or help clean up the house for company.
Couples should always respect each other's beliefs. I know a couple where the husband is an extremely devout Jew, and the wife is a very devout Catholic. Sounds like a crazy match, but they're perfect for one another. They don't necessarily agree with the other's beliefs, but respect them and support them 100%.
True love isn't always about religious and/or cultural similarities (although it can help sometimes). True love is about supporting one another and respecting each other's wishes, desires, beliefs, leanings, and other affiliations. Just stay away from the religion topics at the dinner table, it could lead to a fight. You didn't mention if she was trying to convert you or not. Are you the only one trying to do the converting? If it's a two-way thing, just sit down together and talk about it. Tell her that you are willing to support her religious beliefs if she is willing to support your lack thereof. Sometimes the most opposite of people can attract!
Good luck with your relationship! I'm sure it will work out fine if you're both willing to put in the effort involved to make it work!

Let her believe her way and you believe yours. Try having some quiet discussions about religion. Do your reseach and have her do some on her views then sit and talk about it together with no raised voices and then go to bed with a kiss not anger. If she sees the evidence then she will start thinking and asking more questions. The problem is as one atheist put it is that there are more believers than there are thinkers. Show her the proof and let her think for herself. Be prepared though because if she has been raised a christian all her life then she may not want to change, change is hard for some people. But if she can resepct your views then the relationship should work fine.

Before I start I want to make something clear: I AM AN ATHEIST. I don't believe in God and never will. I think the religion is a load of rubbish. However I respect the fact that the society we live has allowed me the freedom of choice to decide what to believe, and that in return I must and should give this right to others. Second of all if you 'love' this person then clearly you love all of them not just the bits you agree with, because that is what love is: acceptance (as well as the ability to put up with them when their pissing you off). If you change them then they are no longer the person you love. Thirdly as a man you clearly have issues with the idea of power over women. she is not a five year old let her make her own mind up and stop asking for advice of weirdo's off the Internet.

Why convert in the first place? There are many interfaith relationships out there that work. If you want to be atheist and she a Christan, then just go with the flow focus on the things you like about each other.

What do you call "love"? How does love operate with an athiest?
What do you, as as athiest believe in that you could convert someone to? Why do you think the one you love is a Christian?
Why don't you ask her this question and be sure to discuss your athiesm with her while you are at it. Belief in something or in nothing is a matter of personal choice based on information and UNDERSTANDING.

If you are a Atheist and she is a true christian you will never convert her and if she knows her Bible she knows that you and her do not have anything in common. And if she has any sense she will fleeeee!!

Why would you want to convert her? If you like her now..being a christian shouldn't change anything!

Sweetheart.
If you love her, then you would not want to "convert" her. She has certain beliefs, opinions and convictions, that make her who she is. Just as, your beliefs, opinions, and convictions makes who you are as person.
Why would you change somebody you love?
Love her, respect her faith. You may not be happy about it, but think of it this way. Also, you may teach each other quite a lot.
LIVE AND LET LIVE.

A true Christian will respect your beliefs, do the same for her if you really love her. As a devout atheist, we cant be like all the others and force our views on everyone else.
