But why would her talking about her faith make you uncomfortable in the first place?

Any situation where she talks about God and her faith would be a situation where I'm silently thinking "but it's not real! fictional character! how can anyone believe this stuff?". If I were to talk about my lack of faith, she'd be thinking "but but but God exists, how can you not see it?". Since we'd both know what the other was thinking, there'd be nothing comfortable in those situations.

discussion of beliefs between different faith groups is a healthy thing and should be encouraged

Yes, but there's a difference between discussing an abstract or general, non-personal concept (examples: a whole religion, a certain religious seremony person X attended) and one's personal beliefs (examples: "I felt God in my heart", "and then he was healed, I saw it with my own eyes!"). Talking about the former is fine and should indeed be encouraged, but talking about the latter could lead to unnecessary awkwardness and hurt. I'd rather not accidentally hurt my friend (or force her to hurt me) or end up in an incredibly awkward situation (for both of us) with her.
