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?
Because lots of other people ascribe it meaning.
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
