How does one on the outside judge how religious a person is? A priest or pastor is not going give a questionnaire. They will ask if the person is baptized and in some cases, if they are confirmed as well. That doesn't mean you have any religious leanings as an adult, but that you have some foundation.
The idea is you are meant to help teach the children of their faith. The idea is how would a Jewish person help raise up a child in the Christian faith? Or a Muslim? Or someone raised with no religion? They would have no real deep sense of the faith, other then what they read in a text. Where someone who was raised in a Christian church, even if they don't attend as an adult, would have the foundation to share with that child in their life.
At the end of next month I am to serve as a godmother for the first time. My little godson to be is to be christened in the united church and I am Catholic. But while I am not protestant, I still have a deep Christian foundation.
I don't see anyone without faith, by that an atheist, being a godparent. If they don't believe in god, how do they raise a child in their faith. A guardian, an honorary aunt/uncle, a mentor yes. But a godparent no. Godparents denote a religious based relationship. Religion being a key to it.
As we know, Meghan's first name begins with an 'R.'
Saffron has the same feel as Savannah, Isla and Mia; unusual but not totally unimaginable though the name itself (bar any royal connections) does feel slightly dated to me. I can imagine a name along the lines of Saffron for a potential second child should the Sussexes have one, though for the first I think they'll stick to "safer" names.
