In case something happens to a parent, there will be a godparent to insure the child continues his/her religious education until Confirmation.
Can a godparent have custody if parent is in jail?
If the other parent is unfit, other relatives have equal chance in court to get custody of the child. Being a god parent does not give you a bigger chance since godparent is not a legal term. It's a religious one.

No. The godparent must be a practicing Catholic, because their job as a godparent is to guide the child in practicing their faith. If the godparent isn't Catholic, then they can't fulfill their duties: they can't be a godparent.
I have been asked to be a godparent but i am a Sikh and havent been christened can i still be a godparent?
No you cannot be a Godparent if you are not a Roman Catholic. I guess the parents of the child have not consulted the priest before asking you. The moment they approach the church they will have to name another God parent who is baptised in the Roman Catholic Church.
Can you be a Episcopalian god parent if you are not religious?
