De-baptism


One movement that seems to have gotten little attention is the growing ‘renunciation of baptism.’ In Britain one can download de-baptism forms, and apparently 100,000 or so have done so. A similar movement is active in Italy, and in Argentina the secularist movement is called ‘Not in my name.’ One report states that the British group has sold 1500 parchment certificates for $4.35 each, netting $6525. That is not a bad profit for a piece of printed paper and some postage.  http://www.secularism.org.uk/debaptise-yourself.html
