A British organization is producing “certificates of de-baptism” for people wishing to renounce Christianity — and claims it’s getting thousands of takers.
The National Secular Society says more than 100,000 people have downloaded the certificates from its Web site.
The initiative is among a series of atheist-oriented campaigns in Europe.
Italy’s Union of Rationalist Atheists and Agnostics sponsored a nationwide “De-Baptism Day” last October.
In Spain, a high court ruled that a Valencia man could have his baptism records erased under data protection laws.

Could this be the unforgivable sin?
