    Implied fact: a baby is capable of having a religion, despite its inability to comprehend the concept.

      Implied fact: by distinguishing the baby as Christian, there must be non-Christian babies in close proximity.

        Actual Implication: You’re supposed to care more about the Christian baby than a non-Christian babies.

            Unimplied fact: all babies in this scenario are likely to hurl, regardless of their (parents’) denomination.

      I mean, Jewish boys go through a ritual to mark them as part of the religion and christening occurs early too, so I would say that religious people usually assume the baby’s religion.

        Non-jewish boys often go through the same ritual, even in a jew-hating religion, because of “tradition”.

          Not in my country. But my point still stands as long as there is religious significance to the ritual for some.
