However I say that as someone who got my daughter christened so am slightly hypocritical  Neither me nor my husband is religious though..not even totally sure why we did it but we are not raising her as Christian..its up to her when shes older  |
I think sometimes with baptism it's family pressure/expectation/not wanting to disappoint. I know my mother and mother in law were very keen for me to do it, even though neither had been inside a church apart from family weddings and baptisms. It was quite hard to resist the pressure.
