First of all, don't call her a heathen to anyone, but especially not to her face. We don't bring people to Christ with a whip. Pray about her. Talk with her heart to heart (that means without ever yelling at her or trying to force her to see things your way). Listen to her for real. Perhaps she has some legitimate concerns. Then explain how you see things (again, no yelling or any of the above--use love, and don't try to make it "tough love" either, because that won't work). Use logical sense---don't go on a limb and talk about faith as though it is the only thing (it's important, but it can't stand alone). God is logical as well as spiritual, and it really isn't hard to make sense of the world with him involved, though personally I don't see how anyone can without him (that doesn't make sense to me. I believe in evolution to an extent--I believe we evolve and adapt, but not that species evolve into completely different species. Evolution cannot and does not account for the vaiety of life in the world, and for the order of it). Many aethist simply have grown up solely on faith and, when they realize that the world needs to make sense for real, they throw their faith aside because they haven't seen the sense of it. They don't think of God logically because they've been taught that faith and science are different things, whereas truth is truth no matter where it comes from. Pure religion and pure science (there's plenty of false science and religion out there) support each other and don't contradict.
Then comes the hard part. Let her choose what she chooses. Agency is part of God's plan, and I don't think he would appreciate us using force when he himself gave us the freedom to choose. Try to be OK with whatever choice is made. You can still talk to her about thing, but sense what is going on---don't annoy her about it and drive her further away. Just be wise in your doings, and you should be fine.

Do what William J. Murray did. He got out of the miserable situation and gave his heart and life to God. His mother, younger brother and 30 year old daughter, all brain-washed against God, the Bible and Christianity, were killed by some of the very hardened criminals Madelyne Murray took pride in hiring, who then kidnapped, tortured and killed the family. Unless they repented in their dying hours, William Murray has no hopes of seeing them again in heaven. Who wants to die as a fool dies? That's really sad. You can however love God and show her God's love but don't let her brainwash your kids like Madelyne Murray did into immoral, miserable lawless living.

Hire Jim Darwin to appear at her weekly canasta game. He'll set her straight, for a modest fee of course!
