    I've never been baptised.
    That's really good, actually. At least the kids have a choice, you know?

    No

    But I am agnostic/pantheist rather than 100% atheist. Most of my relatives are agnostics too...

    I think my denomination looks at baptism as truly the beginning our your completely pious, Godly life. No cursing, no hairdye, no jeans, no long hair for men, no short hair for women.. Extremely strict and pious. So until they feel they can meet those obligations, they believe unbaptized.
    It sounds fascinating. What is your denomination?

    This is why the OP asked the question, I think.
