When friendships change after one person finds faith

My best friend found faith in a way that feels completely foreign to me and now every conversation has this undercurrent where I feel like she's trying to save me and she probably feels like I'm rejecting something precious to her. We've been close for fifteen years and I don't know how to bridge this growing distance without one of us having to pretend.
