'Debaptism' Takes Root with American Atheists

I know that this made news awhile ago already, but it is clearly an indicator of today's thinking.

From the article:

Atheist Gary Mueller recently mailed his de-baptism certificate to St. Bonaventure Catholic Church in Concord, Calif., and asked to be dropped from its baptismal record. The church told him, in effect, that he was all wet.

"While we do not remove a name/person from a Baptism register, we can note alongside your name that `you have left the Roman Catholic Church,"' the Rev. Richard Mangini replied in an e-mail. "I hope that God surprises you one day and lets you know that He is quite well."
