I want to know your opinions on being a Godmother if you are an atheist.
How can a person who does not believe in God make a promise to God to help raise a child in His teachings? I ask because I went to a christening yesterday and it really irked me that Godmother was standing there in front of the church and all these people proclaiming to God. I felt like she was such a hypocrite. Maybe I am wrong.
Any feelings on this from either side?

Re: NWR- Let's discuss this.
I dont know...my sister wanted to pick me and my fiancee as godparents for her next child. I'm catholic my fiancee is jewish.obviously church would have a problem with this but im convinced the church wouldnt know. In my opinion no godparent ever takes responsibility for raising the child in the faith anymore..to me a good godparent is someone who guides a child in life in general, not just faith. Thats just my opinion though!
