I'm afraid that your husband is wrong!

I don't think that the church do any form of anti-christening apart for ex-communication but that's a catholic thing and pretty middle ages stuff.
If he's right then I'm a Christian lol! I was christened as a baby but I'm a very strong (in the informal sense, I'm still de-facto I don't "KNOW" of course) atheist!
I don't believe in a God or gods. Therefore I'm an atheist by definition. That's what makes you an atheist. Sod the christening I say! Otherwise it means I'm a Christian afterall! And I'm not a Christian lol.
I merely live in a Christian culture. I'm an atheist.
EmmaM, if you don't believe in a God or gods. You're an atheist by definitionSmile
