Be patient with her. Patience is one of the perfections of a Boddhisattva. She certainly doesn't understand and may feel threatened, or feel that you are rejecting her, because her sense of self is deeply entwined with her religion.

Tell her that you meditate on remaining calm and peaceful and rising above anger, greed, and envy. Tell her that you strive to generate greater compassion and loving kindness towards others. These are beneficial qualities that are taught in all religions. If fact, meditation is not religion-specific. Even Catholics spend time in meditation, prayer, and contemplation of being a better, kinder person. So what if you read widely and watch videos by non-Christians? You have a perfectly fine rational mind and can decide for yourself what is useful on your spiritual path.

Sometimes attend church with her if you can. That would be an act of generosity towards her. There is a lot of wisdom in the actual teachings of Jesus. I'm not referring to the dogma of the established church, but to his Sermon on the Mount, which is well worthy of meditating on.

I hope you find this helpful.
