My godparents are my parents' best family friends. I don't know that they've ever tried to offer me any kind of religious instruction, but they have offered me lifetimes of great advice and guidance. Ultimately, I am very thankful for the bond we have--and I think that's what's at the heart of the godparent thing; providing the child with an additional supportive, encouraging adult in their lives.
