But anyways.... <<is there a way to get unbaptized?>> Sadly for you.. NO Some things simply can't be undone. That's reality, I'm afraid. You can't for instance take back a mean word, once it is released into the world. You can't undead or unkill an animal. So too it is believed that one can not be 'unbaptized' spiritually because baptism forgives original sin and makes you a child of God. That is the theology behind it. If you don't believe in God, then you shouldn't have any worry, since he doesn't exist. This hasn't stopped small groups of Atheists from inventing their own "unbaptism" ceremonies. You can invent any ritual you want to make yourself feel unbaptized. Most people who want to do this, I think, have some latent anger towards their family and so they wish to do something outward and shocking to separate themselves from their family or previous life.
