The wikipedia says:
Traditionally, the godparents were counted informally responsible for ensuring that the child's religious education was carried out and for caring for the child should he/she be orphaned. Today the word "godparent" may not have explicitly religious overtones. The modern view of a godparent tends to be an individual chosen by the parents to take an interest in the child's upbringing and personal development.
So, with that in mind, as an atheist godparent, i would want to gift the child by starting a college fund for him/her. Failing that, maybe a boxed set of Carl Sagans "Cosmos"
Mitashia.
Your question is an example, albeit flawed, of a sentence containing the word "atheist."
atheist
Go to your card. Click on the baby you would like to know whose godfather it is. On the left, there should be a section that says "This baby's godfather is..." or "This baby does not have a godfather."
because she is poo
well Miley Cyrus doesnt have a godfather.She says why should I have a godfather when I have a father so nobody really knows
You shouldn't, let them choose. But give evidence to your beliefs. I too am an atheist, but I'd respect people's religious choices.
No, because it is n ot a proper nou n.
It really depends on the culture of a certain neighborhood Because as what I observed, most of the godfather's I had met became a godfather at the age of 7. So that means, being a godfather does not choose age nor it does not actually invoved responsibility. What matters most is something that you can give for the reason that you are a godfather. That's it!
The main duties as a godfather are to guide your godchild in religion. It is also believed that in case the parents were not available or were to perish, you would become the person responsible for raising this child. When a parent thinks of someone as a godfather to their child, this parent has trust in you and believes that you would be a good parent to their kid. Now frivoulosly speaking, you are responsible for baptizing the child and being at every single birthday and celebration (i.e: christmas, easter) with a gift for the child. Hope this helps... :)
The Godfather Trilogy (Godfather, Godfather Part II and Godfather Part III) was directed by Francis Ford Coppola.
Why would someone need to defend themselves? Socrates was a great thinker; therefore, he was most llikely an Atheist. Most great thinkers are.
