    Hi there,

    We got our son 'baptised' in the unitarian church on stephens green. It's a ceremony for people from all faiths and backgrounds and you bring along your own readings, poems, music, people to speak, etc. It's quite open and lends a sense of occasion.

    it was a really good way to celebrate my son's arrival and people enjoyed the unusual aspect of it too!

    Have been to a wedding there too and it was lovely.

    here's the URL: http://www.unitarianchurchdublin.org/

    I got married there. Great place. I'm atheist / humanist my wife would be Church goer. It was great and we were evry happy with them.

    This is my point without trying to seem hostile. I admire anybody taking an interest in faith. I am catholic and practice but I do think some of the new age fads "I am not christening my child" dont wash when it comes to communnion confirmation and indeed school as you noticed. I always thought christian was a good alternative.
    What ever you choose practise it and good luck

    Atheism/Secularism/Not being Christian coupled with a bit of integrity isnt exactly a fad tbh. Standing up for what you believe in washes with me, even if you're a Catholic.......:p But ridiculous generalisations, and believing them, doesnt.
