I'm not sure I understand this:

More than 100,000 Britons have recently downloaded "certificates of de-baptism" from the Internet to renounce their Christian faith.

The initiative launched by a group called the National Secular Society (NSS) follows atheist campaigns here and elsewhere, including a London bus poster which triggered protests by proclaiming "There's probably no God."

"We now produce a certificate on parchment and we have sold 1,500 units at three pounds (4.35 dollars, 3.20 euros) a pop," said NSS president Terry Sanderson, 58.

So, if there's probably no God, why bother renouncing Him?

I could understand wanting to correct your record on file -- that's what John Hunt did, by placing a notice of renouncement in the London Gazette. There's even something pleasantly British about submitting your Christian resignation to one of the government's "official journals of record."

And then there's Michael Evans, who calls baptism "a form of child abuse." But those seem like strong words for a ritual that, to his mind, should signify nothing more than a damp forehead.

It's interesting the lengths some will go to in order to prove how little they care about something. (H/t Kathryn Lopez)
