Woah, jet back there sonny...
It's not just the athiest who gets to take notice of these things. It's everyone of a religious slant who has dealings with them.
My mother, in a moment of weakness, gin fueled madness or whatever it might have been allowed my christening to take place in our local church.
This led pretty directly to my attendance at the close by religious school as there was no "reason" for me to attend the purely secular school 2 miles further away.
Since the board of education appeared to be a tad blind when it came to minor religious differences I spent 6 years being educated in a catholic school as a bewlidered atheist with C. of E. papers. Educated by the teachers, despised, reviled, and on one occasion harshly beaten by the nuns.
All because of someone elses decision about what my religion should be written down as.

These days my passport says "Orthodox Discordian" but my school records stills bears that damming four letter mark.
