Yeah, also what bothers me (again this is from own personal experiences) is people just carry on with it, like my parents did and I've even done it myself just to make life easier/the kids lives easier. Choosing to have no religion isn't that easy of choice here, I mean you get lots and lots of people who will just go through the motions of baptising their kids just so it's easier to get in schools or so your kid won't be the odd one out etc etc It's not that the Church are forcing them to be Catholic per se but because it's so intertwined in our schools and to some extent the state (although that's much better in recent years) it makes it more difficult to make the choice you really want regarding religion
