Hell no. I live in a nominally Catholic country where almost nobody goes to church, but everyone gets their child christened, then throws them a first communion party and a confirmation party, and gives their family members a church funeral. Well, not everyone, but many people, and I find it very hard to understand as well as disrespectul to believers. I also know people who let their children be christened as young teens so they would "fit in" with their peers. ONe of them would have been christened as a baby in her GM's village but then GM realized the priest might refuse as the parents weren't married and her neighbours would find out. Better to risk the child going to purgatory than lose face in the village!
I'm an atheist but was brought up first as a middle-of-the-road Protestant (infant baptism), then guilted into being "born again" and baptized by immersion as a young teen when my parents moved us closer to my GPs and we for some reason "had" to join their more fundamentalist church. I at first refused out of embarassment (like most 12-year-olds, I imagine, the thought of "dying in the Lord" wearing a swimsuit under an old choir robe, in front of the whole congregation, made me want to shrivel up and actually die), but eventually terror of dying "unsaved" prevailed. Strangely, nobody had thought to warn me when I was still a Lutheran!
And interestingly, when my mother left my father after 45 years of marriage she went right back to her original Protestant faith. When my son was born she asked me if I planned to baptize him and when I said no she made a cat's bum mouth and said "oh you really SHOULD...." I was tempted to ask why, and if she was finally SURE infant baptism was the right type, but there's no having any discussion with her.
Whew ... I hate hypocrisy
