I'm somewhat glad my wife is a protestant. There certainly is not the pressure for infant baptism that I recall from my upbringing in a catholic house. Having had the baptism discussion with her minister, he understand my position that I can't very well stand up in front of people and voice my beliefs for something I clearly don't believe.
In the true sense of the ceremony, god parents ARE important - they are pledging to help raise the child as a Christian. I can't do that - I'm pretty upfront about my non-belief, so there is little chance I'll be asked, though my wife is god-mother for a couple of different children.
