If i were you I'd contact the state or area government and ask them. Each state/area has dif. rules on this sort of thing. Religion does help in legal battle but it is not needed. As long as you have good ideals and can prove to be a good godparent then you should be fine. If you need more help contact the area government or Lawyer.

Should an atheist be a godparent?

An atheist would be just as suitable to be a godparent because an atheist would not try to brainwash the child. S/He would say: A number of people hold different beliefs about religion. These people think this, and others think that. ==Opinion== There is no reason why they cannot be godparents. They must however promise to see that the child is brought up in the faith. To be taught the gospel , to pray, to study the scriptures, and to be ready to assist the parents in all of these matters. Their own disbelief must play no part in this covenant that is made. ==Opinion== It would hardly be appropriate for an atheist to be a godparent for a child of Christian parents. An atheist would not understand the gospel well enough to teach it to the child to "see that the child is brought up in the Christian faith." Christ must help us to understand the scriptures: "Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures," Luke 24:45 This should be obvious to true Christian parents. Besides, before whom would the covenant be made, if the godparent does not believe in God? ==Opinion== Usually a Godparent is understood to be responsible for a child's spiritual and moral education. Its fairly easy to think of non-believers (David Attenborough or Betrand Russell for example) who would be good people to do that. One can equally well think of theists (Peter Sutcliffe or Charles Manson spring to mind) who obviously would not. So, based on that, I would say that someone religious beliefs are largely irrelevant to whether someone should be a Godparent compared with the quality of their characters.
