Well, duh. That would be why you need to treat her with more respect. Her feelings about religion are more important than your ego, if you want to make this work. (Likewise, of course, with her; she can’t belittle your atheism if you’re married, but this is about you.)
Look, you can hate baseball all you want, unless you’re going to marry Sammy Sosa, in which case you have to support him all the way or get out. You can despise Christianity all you want, unless you want to marry a Christian girl, in which case you’d better be prepared to support her all the way–or get out.
The (not so) easy answer is to end the relationship - that would be my recommendation. You can sit around hoping she’ll drop her beliefs, and she very well might - or they might get stronger and annoy you even more - is that a chance you want to take? Surely you realize she’s on the other side probably thinking you’ll have a come-to-Jesus moment at some point and all will be puppies and bunnies and angels with wings.
I also understand your position about not respecting beliefs while still respecting the individual (although you did kind of get tripped up by your own words as pointed out earlier). You can happily lack all respect for a belief while respecting someone’s right to hold it - I think the Heaven’s Gate cult’s beliefs were stupid, irrational, ignorant, and an assortment of other negative words; however, it’s their right to believe what they want.
A belief does not inherently have some sort of magical shroud around it that protects it from criticism. Yes, I realize that people’s religious beliefs are very personal and important to them - and I think we both agree that the reply to that is: so what?
And finally, my wife and I are much the same - we’re not phone people and if one of us has a show about to start, it’s no big deal to say “gotta go, my show is on!” I recommend some folks lighten up on this one - your relationships may be different, that’s fine and hooray for you.
And here is the problem. I am not joining inot the fray, just pointing out that if you do not respect the OP’s beliefs, and they are the same as your GF’s, then you don’t respect your GF’s beliefs. See the logic?
Where I come from respect of ones ideas is a pretty big stumbling block in any relationship. Without it it’s pretty much just the fucking.
And, if I may point out, I’m about the last fan of Christianity you’ll find on the SD, and I’m the one pointing this out to you. Consider that carefully.
