<human>: So I broke up with my ex about 2 years ago (after dating her for about 2 months) for religious reasons (she couldn't accept a non-believer in her life). We were into each other for years (since before her conversion to that Islam) and it was very sad for both of us to see that it wouldn't work out after she finally moved to my city.  
  
We stopped talking after that, then a few months ago, she comes back to talk to me, tells me she changed her religion to (much less strict) Spiritism (common in my country). Now we're talking to each other every single day like we're really close friends, but every time we mention love, she tells me she really has no feelings and only sees me as a friend.    
   
I have strong suspicions that deep inside she's still into me and has hopes of us getting back in the future (it's impossible right now because I'm studying abroad). When she says she doesn't love me, I feel like she's trying to fool herself, again for religious reasons. Here are the biggest clues:  
    
- She's the one who starts the conversation most of the time.  
- She knows that I still like her and recently told me that I was the only person that truly loved her.  
- She keeps trying to convert me to her religion by bringing up this topic all the time (she's a really hardcore believer in the spirit world and my skepticism drives her crazy).   
- She has deliberately hidden her feelings from me several times in the past.  
    
  
As for me personally, I'd love to try again as long as she wanted it as well. Having her around as a friend is not bad either (still better than not talking to her at all; she's really intelligent and talks about interesting stuff). I wonder if you guys have ever come across a similar situation and have some story or advice to share. Is it possible to be friends with your ex after a very strong love? Should I insist until she admits she still loves me?

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
<bot>: ex girlfriend is now my best friend and I suspect she wants to try again (but convert me to her religion first); I want to try again as well but her friendship is also welcome.
