She can believe that cutting her hair is wrong, but she doesn't get to tell you that you shouldn't cut your hair. Same with the other things, although they are bad habits they are not "wrong" for you to do because her religion says so. Her religious beliefs are hers, and unless you share them you are under no obligation to live by them. She will hopefully figure that out at some point. I'm an atheist, but i do have an example of something that while not a religion gave me a similar mindset to your friend. When I was in high school, I stopped eating meat. For a number of reasons, including being bullied for a love for animals. The next year or so, I drove my meat eating family and friends nuts by becoming "preachy" about vegetarianism. Telling them what they were eating was wrong and so on. Eventually, I learned that I had to respect their choices and not try to change them to my point of view if I wanted to keep my relationships. I haven't eaten meat since, they all still eat meat, and that's okay. Hopefully you and your friend can reach a compromise in which you stay friends and respect each other's religion/lack of religion.

The Mutant Jetsam is the closest thing to a Squid at the moment

Me too! But I'm here for it if that's changed!

lolol! never seen that, that's great! i patiently await the day we get a squid...

I've never had one of those before .. i'm surprised it's worth quite a bit

If she's a super religious person and you're not and SHE wasn't the one to break things off in terms of the friendship, I think you're fine. I would continue just being yourself (swearing, talking naughty things, etc.) and then if she becomes uncomfortable or starts judging you, then I think the friendship is done. Or she may judge you, but not enough to stop being friends with you, then just stay friends. That's adult life. I am not friends with people who constantly judge me and my beliefs (or lack thereof). I'm an accepting person and my friends are accepting of me. I have family members who are super religious (my sister-in-law) and she just lets the family know when I've or someone else said something that goes too far for her. We just don't bring it up again. But we can talk about an array of controversial topics that she happily joins the debate in.

This Maraquan Jetsam made me think of Dory and Marlin in "Finding Nemo" when they face the Anglerfish

Another one!

One of the biggest lessons in being an adult, (This realization is about 10 years old now so im feeling like the old lady in the titanic now) was that it ok to let friends go. sometimes we outgrow them like any relationship. Just my two cents is maybe its time to let them go and grow! This is such a hard thing to do especially over differences like that. But she sounds like a bummer. Hope it works out.
