I'm in a pretty heavy relationship with a catholic girl despite being a non-believer. I learned as much as I could about her religion, decided that it wasn't for me and we discussed it. She does use birth control, fortunately, so that part isn't an issue.
Everything in a lasting relationship is mutual. Are you okay with having sex without birth control? You say you're considering marriage, after which naturally comes children; are you well enough established in your life to support a child and are you ready to have children?
They're tough questions and they need to be asked. The two of you need to sit down and have a long talk about where you want to go with your lives. If it's not the same place, it may be time to part ways. It sounds harsh, but it's better now than 5 or 10 years down the road when you realize that you're not the match you thought you were.
