You are incorrect; you never need to respond to or engage someone's rude behavior..you can always ignore it.  If she comes up to you and says something about your religion, you can always respond to it by saying, "how 'bout them Ravens".

You can also always be "on your best behavior" by calling her out on her rudeness with class, particularly if she persists in saying something even after you have ignored or not responded to her.  You can say something like, 'I don't say ugly things about atheists|atheism in your presence, please stop saying them about [insert your religion here] in mine".

Of course, you should probably ask yourself first: how often do you talk about your religion and proselytize in her presence?  How often do you bring it up when nobody has asked?  And before you get upset about her FB posts (which are not part of the family gathering), how often do you make posts on your FB about your religion?
