Well, you certainly can't help it that your parent's choose to believe different beliefs.
Have you, personally, sat down with his mother to talk about this? Maybe invite her out to lunch or even to a park. Someplace quiet where the two of you can sit down and have a good talk.
Explain to her that, though your parents' religion differs from hers, yours DOES NOT. Remind her that, though her son would be marrying into your family, he IS NOT marrying your family. He's marrying YOU.
Give her the respect of listening to her point of view, just as you want her to give you that same respect. Talking and listening to each other makes it a lot easier to come to a compromise.
Good luck to you!

Well I don't see what the problem is seeing how you attend the same church as him either. But regardless, she shouldn't disagree with yalls choice to get married because of your parents religion. BUT, theres not much you can do. Sorry to say, but you just have to sit back and let things run their course. Although your boyfriend is close to his mom, if he has seen you for four years, I doubt he will decide to call things off for something his mom disagrees with. But all you can do, is wait, and see how things turn out.
Good luck with every! :]
