Coco Chanel did not regularly practice any religion. However, she was baptized Catholic and attended Catholic girls schools as a child.
No. There are no prerequisites to being baptized. Only that you (as an adult) desire to be baptized. Baptism, however, is a prerequisite to being confirmed. Adults, if they are to be baptized, are usually confirmed on the same day.
According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, the base rule for who can be baptized is "Every person not yet baptized and only such a person is able to be baptized." http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p2s2c1a1.htm#1246 Given that children with one non-Catholic parent are regularly baptized, I would imagine it is possible, but if the divorced parent re-married, without annulment, the other parent of the child then there would be grave concerns about the likelihood of the child being raised in the Faith. Most priests would not agree to such a baptism. If the parents were divorced after the child was conceived, or if the divorced parent also has an annulment, then I can't think of any reason that the child could not be baptized.
If only one parent is living=- for example if the Mother had died in childbirth but the child survived, yes, this would be legitimate.
anyone. a god parent is someone (normaly a friend of the parents of the child) who wittnessed the child being baptized
An illegitimate child can be baptized.
In the christian Community, for a child to be sponsored for communion. He most be at the right age and most be baptized. A parent or the caretaker of the child can sponsor such child for communion.

Yes. His or her parents have to decide how to handle the situation, but the child can refuse, just as a child can refuse to eat vegetables, or clean their room, or do their homework. ADDING TO THE ABOVE If the question is regarding "practice" then no once can involuntarily practice any religion. A parent may force a child to attend a meeting, wear certain clothing or speak a certain language, but the child can find all sorts of ways to not practice what is otherwise a religion. They may choose not to sing, pray, listen or agree. More actively they may be disruptive, speak during silence, stand in protest or walk out of a meeting. There are a myriad of ways that a child can refuse to practice a religion. Parents are still legally responsible for the upbringing and education of their children. Until laws are passed to the contrary a parent can maintain diet and clothing restrictions which are religiously motivated and even limit a child's activities in as much as they may require monetary or transportation assistance. However, short of bodily enforcing the observance of religion there is no way to force a child to practice. I assume we are talking about the USA. Child abuse laws come into play here. For instance, in my state (VA), child abuse is defined by causing or threatening to cause physical, mental or emotional harm. In any number of ways a parent attempting to coerce a child may be seen legally as abuse. Allowing a child to starve themselves as a form of protest could be seen as neglect. Legally, the question of coercion and refusal is delicate. If, however, I may bring this back to the original point. As no once can involuntarily practice a religion, if a child wants to refuse what else can be done?
I can't answer this question accuratly, because I don't know which church you're refering to. But ultimatly it's the child's decision to be baptized, and no matter what the parents' situations are, it can't stop the child from being baptized.Catholic Answer:Yes, parents who are not married can have their child baptized. The Church does not punish the child for the sins of the parents.
yes the child is only once baptized.
