I can (and am) involved in the lives of my friend's children - I don't need to go through a religious ceremony to do that. I see *my* involvement in such a ceremony as hypocrisy. I know my wife takes her god parenthood seriously, in a religious sense.
I can see the point that non-church goers do get their children christened and (in this case) the after ceremony implications are small. Even so, I'm on my high horse and I'm not coming down
