Atheism and religious ceremonies/education

[pocaracas]

As above, I've been to a few religious ceremonies (weddings, funerals, one or two christenings) and I don't participate in any of the religious parts such as praying, singing or kneeling etc.

However I don't make a big show of it. Indeed, when I look around, more often than not I'm one of many who are also not participating.

Silly traditionalism isn't so big over here in the UK anymore, thankfully.

Well in Portugal it's the same, it's mainly a tradition to baptize but few people take it too seriously. Thanks for answering, the ceremony went fine even though it was a pain in the ass to listen to the priest for over an hour. After attending this ritual, I came to the conclusion that I won't baptize my kids (I still don't have them, but in the future) until they have enough maturity to decide.

Wait, Wait... Another tuga?! Welcome aboard!!

You're a brother, not the star of the show, so your opinion is not even asked. Don't worry.... oh, I guess you've gone through it, by now. How did it go?
