It sounds like your mom really is having a lot of trouble accepting your diagnosis. She's falling back on what she knows-- religion-- in a sincere but misguided attempt to help you. I doubt it will do any good at all to try to contradict or even educate her. She'll get an education as she sees your health improve due to the professional help you're getting, but it won't change her core beliefs. I think the best you can do is say "thanks mom," not let her get to you, and keep doing what you're doing.
