If you are a Christian then you have heard of the term of being unequally yoked? Well then that is what you will be if she decides to turn her back on her Savior. Not only that but she knows who Christ is and she will be denying him and that is not a good place to be. I would say talk with your pastor about it and pray for her. Maybe even stand in the gap for her. Also pray and ask the Lord what he would have you to do. Well I will be praying for you and her.

If she's an atheist -- or nearly -- then she doesn't believe in hell. So you can stop using that empty threat.
If being a christian is that important to you, than it's possible that this relationship is over. I'm sorry about that, but I would be more sorry for you to waste any more time on something that you can't change. There are plenty of nice christian girls out there. So be a man, say goodbye and wish her well.
Good luck to both of you.

Good question!!
If she is really considering being an atheist, ask her if she thinks she knows everything? She should say of course not! if she does, ask her if she knows half of everything there is to know. She should still say no! then ask her if it is possible that God may exist in the half that she does not know! If the holy spirit is not drawing her she will not respond, if you are a true believer, then your HEART will reflect gods and she will continue to be drawn to the truth. Otherwise move on and look for what He may be directing you to do!!

Telling her she's going to hell is the worst thing you can do. Come on, don't you have things in common? Other things you can talk about? I personally very rarely debate the existence or non existence of God at all (except on YA, obviously).
I wish you well, but I suspect your relationship may be on the ropes.

Atheist are a stench is God's nose. Pray for her. If she was ever really saved then she may be running from God for whatever reason. If you stay with her you will be unequally yoked and the Bible says not to be unequally yoked with your husband, wife. I say go to your pastor and talk with him. Also I would bring up your concerns with her parents.. Also you might ask her, Wouldn't it be better to believe in Jesus and look foolish if he doesn't exist, then for it to turn out That she was wrong and spend the rest of eternity in hell. For God says that Every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord!!!!

If she thinks it's possible that she might go to hell for not believing in God, then she's not atheist at all. She is merely a Christian turning her back on God. If she was an atheist, there wouldn't be that element of fear.
If you are praying for her to come to her senses, then that might be exactly what is happening.

See the part you don't understand, if she is an atheist and talking about it, she already thought it through.
And I guarantee you that she knows that Hell is imaginary and there is NO WAY she could possibly end up there. So why don't you do her a favor and go bother someone else about it, because it is obvious to me that you can't handle the situation.

Hey, she's intelligent enough to overcome many years of indoctrination!
If you can't accept her, you don't deserve her. I'll be happy to take her off your hands... and so would many others.
How about this: read Letter to a Christian Nation, and then see what you think.
Also: If you believe the bible is true, according to it she is both stupid and evil. Why do you care about her, then?

she should listen to
http://spiritlessons.com/Documents/BillWiese_23MinutesInHell_Text.htm
Listen to the audio with her, its a true story. by Bill Wiese. the Hell does exist, and no one should experience what this man experienced.
Pray for her as well.
(if you can burn the audio on a cd, it would be much better)

How about not trying to convert her?
If your relationship is one of equals, then maybe threatening her with hell for having a different philosophical position on the existence of deities is -- wait for it -- patronizing.
Seriously, that's how the threat of religious punishment sounds to a person who no longer believes in it.
She can make up her own mind.
