To quote the article, "Websites offering informal 'de-baptism' certificates have ballooned to accommodate the increasing number of people who want to be removed from official baptismal registries."
I'm not quite sure exactly how to take this. I think people trying to do this are missing the fundamental nature of atheism versus religion.
I was christened as an infant, and I had a full submersion baptism of my own free will at the age 11. That being said, despite my lack of faith now, I have never felt the desire to have my name struck from the records, in fact it is quite the contrary, As an atheist I give no credence whatsoever to my baptism. Why try to undo something if I know that it has no meaning?
