Thanks for all your replies. I'm most likely going to be doing it D:.
My Mum said something like, 'It's like church, it's better to do it than not do it. It's more symbolic than anything...'. I honestly don't know what she means, AFAIK, one of the mere 7 sacraments isn't just symbolic... it's very important.
But, yeah, doesn't look like I have any choice whilst under her jurisdiction xD. I asked some Catholics what they think I should do, and they seemed to be more upset that an Atheist was going to be lying in, 'the house of God' about believing in him than anything else, so, I guess it's the church lost since I don't have that many strong thoughts. It'd probably cause more trouble than it's worth me not doing it anyway. When I'm 18 I will be notifying my parents that I am definitely Atheist.
EMZ=].

I don't know about it being "better" to do it than not, sounds a little like Pascal's Wager but yeah, maybe from a "keep the peace" point of view ... interestingly this leads me to a new thread (Atheism & Christening)
