She needs to understand that her religion is not your religion. Keep in mind, though, that regardless of how much she gets out of going to church, that's her choice, and should have nothing to do with your end of the deal.

Ask her why it's so important. Does she want to share a part of her life with you? Is she taking you in the hopes that you'll grow to like it, and maybe convert over? The intent may well be a big part of whether or not there's a deal-breaking issue here.

Just remember she's not the last girl on the planet. Things like this drive people apart all the time, don't worry about it. If you're "meant" to be together, this will work itself out.

I'd also like to note that the only people in this thread telling him to "suck it up and just do it" are female. No surprise there. Rational objectivity abandoned in favor of supporting team girl. Yay. No one should ever be forced to have to do anything by their partner, if they were in a real relationship. Relationships are not about holding your partner's heart hostage while you make them do whatever you want.
