There are now baptism-style ceremonies in which God is never mentioned. They are offered to parents seeking to initiate their children into a world of all faiths, says Ema Drouillard of San Francisco, who runs the website Ceremonyway.com.<\/p>\n
Drouillard conducted such an event for a couple in Marin County, California, in 1998, for their baby. \u201cWe just wanted a larger spirit to guide our daughter, but we didn\u2019t want to get specific. I wanted all her bases covered,\u201d the mom said.<\/p>\n
The couple grew up Presbyterian, but now, Mom says, \u201cWe do Christianity L-I-T-E for our baby, who believes in angels and fairies, leprechauns and Santa Claus.\u201d<\/p>\n
