4. I understand how you feel. A good friend who is an atheist asked me to be the godmother in a Catholi
baptism and I could not do it. She was doing it out of tradition and party with no other meaning. She said the words held no meaning and didn't understand why I refused.

She looked at it like Christmas when we pretend Santa is real for the kids, I just couldn't get my gut to agree. I am not religious but I respect others beliefs and saying in Church that I will help
raise this child as Catholic was not appropriate for me.
