Atheism: Love it or Leave it? - Part 3

A friend of my friend actually got de-baptized. First time I heard about that.

That sounds kind of silly.

There are two kinds. One is formal – where, as a non-believer, you request that your name be removed from the church’s baptismal registry. (The non-believer doesn’t want their name included in the overall statistics that the church might be inclined to cite.)

The second is much more informal; with a “certificate” and “ceremony,” you renounce your former faith in friendly/party atmosphere.
