If all parties are non-religious what are the duties of a godparent after the child is born?
Grandville
The standard role of a godparent in non-religious families is not too difficult or formal. Basically, he or she should act as a role model, a mentor, a responsible figure in the life of the child (and be available for occasional baby-sitting).
