My cousin lives far away and I get to see her like maybe two months a year well the last time I saw her she said that she has done to many things for God to love her and so she has became an atheist. I don't know what to do except pray but I feel like I need to do more for her. Every time I ask a question on this website no one gives me good answers that I can relate to so please don't let me down! (link)

Ordinarily, I would say that if someone doesn't believe in God, that's their business, and there's nothing you can do to change that. But if her reasoning is just that "she's done too many things for God to love her," then it sounds like she actually *does* believe in God, but feels alienated from religion for some reason.
Pretty much all religious traditions agree that God's love and forgiveness are infinite, and I'm sure you can find lots of evidence of that in the Bible and elsewhere. (You might ask a member of the clergy to help you find some, if you can't do it on your own.) Show it to your cousin (maybe in a letter), and just tell her that if she ever wants to go back to God, nothing can stop her. After that, it's up to her.
