I filled out that form a decade ago. Mum wasnt happy!
I'm not sure why anyone should bother. What does it matter if some
fairy believer sprinkled water on my head?

It matters no. Confirmation, is a different matter. There you have
made a promise, and you should be able to undo the promise, as an
honourable person.

I asked the Bishop of Bath & Wells to excommunicate me so as to
discharge this promise, but the *** refused.

Baptism, confirmation, excommunication - they all sound like fairy-believer rituals to me.

I'd put confirmation down as covered by the 'unfair contract terms' act.

In any case, who have they made a promise to? Surely to a mythological deity.
