I mean it seems like the obvious thing to do would be to decline, as you can't stand there in a church promising to religiously guide this child through life when you don't believe in any of it yourself. How much do you run the risk of offending the parents of the child by doing this? But is that any more offensive than people who know you're an atheist asking you to be a godparent in the first place..?
