Christening - yes, no, perhaps?

This is a totally unscientific poll. Did you get your children christened, or are you planning to do so? If yes, why? (assuming you're not a regular churchgoer, if you are the answer is obvious). Just curious really. My church has noted a decline in babies getting baptised, although a small rise in adult baptisms. So was just wondering about the reasons why people may or may not get their children baptised nowadays, when there's not really any social pressure to do so anymore. Not judging anybody! There's no right or wrong answer. Thanks!

In general there is a lot more to being a Christian than going to church. The most important thing is trying to live in the most ethical way possible (and that's not exclusive to Christianity), so lying about one's religious beliefs to get children into a school is not a great start... Misses the point really.
