I would respectfully decline. In your situation, I would simply state my honest reasons... that the primary responsibility of being a christian god-parent is, in the case of the inability of the true parents to raise the child, to raise the child in the christian belief. And in your situation, you could simply not do that. (actually you could, but it would be very very difficult as children are always full of questions, and sincerity is important in answering important ones). Kind of like... what if she asked you to raise her child as Hindu, or Buddhist, etc.... this is no different !
