I read that conversation. It's not her fault, she's not dragging you into an argument, you're not just defending what you believe against some Christian fanatic, it's nobody's fault, and it's everybody's fault. Neither of you are going to convince the other to change beliefs, and no amount of logic here will make one or the other 'see the light'.
You're not defending your beliefs against her Christian attack, and she's not defending hers against your heathen ways. You both need to just avoid these conversations and if you see them coming, bite your lip and control yourself, keep your ego in check and don't get into an argument with her. You both need to keep the burning desire to be right in check and keep in mind that you can have a friendship that doesn't involve politics and religion.
You can tell that to her if you want, tell her you want to keep those religious topics out of bounds but she might take it the wrong way and see you as stubborn. You see her as stubborn and brainwashed, she sees you as stubborn and brainwashed, you're never going to win, and she's never going to win. Just keep an eye out for these topics and avoid them.
