"Hi all,
firstly I am humbled by all the responses and the effort that many of you have put into your responses.

That has to be my priority, and…"

"This is hard... for me when I have a child I will not get them baptized, I just wont and I don't care who will scream and holler at me. Its just water... If you can get passed the symbolism... ugh... If there are no other schools in the area…"
Paul Lin replied to SheaJ's discussion Baptism Conundrum: Help Please!
"You just have to avoid religious activities and find a more rational school that does not require a child to be baptized. If you cannot, you can always move to another country. Being in a country where 80-90% of schools are religious isn't fun.…"

"The schooling issue seems to me the weightier of the two decisions .That seems to be a no win situation. No one wants to be the first to say no to religious bullying but someone has to sooner or later to make it better for the next bunch. I guess as…"
Steve replied to SheaJ's discussion Baptism Conundrum: Help Please!
"Tell them simply that if and when your child knows enough to consider baptism, then he can decide for him/herself. That is where I stood firm with my children. The argument can be that if religion becomes a strong influence for the child, then…"

Baptism Conundrum: Help Please!
Hi all, I would appreciate any practical help on this one please! I’m a bit stuck. My wife is due with our first child. I am super excited at the prospect and look forward to sharing my love of the natural world and all its wonders with him/her! I am a strong, and getting stronger all the time, rationalist that is as far up the Atheist scale as you can be. My wife, without knowing the deepest workings of anyone’s inner mind is, I believe, not a true believer but is in that awkward place of not…See More

Northern Ireland: Humanist poster stirs up religious storm
This has added significance, it being in Northern Ireland. It would have been impossible to post something like this 10/15 years ago, considering the hatred and violence that existed between many Catholic and Protestant communities.Remember the quote: "... but are you a catholic atheist or a protestant atheist". How poignant.ArticleSee More

CountMeOut.ie The (officially) lapsed Catholics
Ireland: Thanks to a website, it has never been easier to defect from the Catholic church, and people are beginning to take up the option.For Orlaith Finnegan [...] defecting from the Catholic church took only a week. She used the website Countmeout.ie to apply and sent her letter on August 25th to the Cork diocese, providing the parish and year of her baptism, and received confirmation of her defection on August 31st. A note was made on her baptismal record stating that she had officially left…See More
