Godfathers are mainly a Christian thing though, although wizards might use it in that way. They books never specify so it is a 50-50 chance.

I'm atheist, and I have godparents

They're atheist as well

So it doesn't have to be a Christian thing

Like a said, it's 50-50

No, Godparents aren't just a Christian thing it may come from Christians, but it isn't a Christian thing.

This is the third time I've had to say this. I know, it is a 50-50 chance.

If you're religious you believe Jesus existed and you do not think he's s wizard. If you aren't Christian you probably don't believe the stories about him. This could vary, but for most purposes I argue that he isn't. Because he pretty much just exists for Christians and they wouldn't call him a wizard.

Within the Harry Potter universe, Christian wizards might find it offensive to think of Jesus as a muggle.

@GreatMistress you're on a forum of YA books about witches and wizards using quotes from a book that people once used to justify slavery and now use to justify hating lgbtq individuals. As an agnostic/atheist I'm offended right now, so it goes both ways.

Not trying to start anything or be disrespectful, but everyone has rights here.

From the wiki on Anthony Goldstein

So you can be a Jew and a wizard.

However- 'The Son of God' was far more than a wizard.

Just the story about him raising Lazarus from the dead proves he was able to do what no magic can do.

There are actually a lot of Christian themea throughout the HP series,.

It's true that some people have used the Bible to justify terrible actions, but that doesn't mean it represents the beliefs of all religious individuals. The Bible has also inspired countless acts of compassion, charity, and love. Just because some people misuse it doesn't invalidate its significance to others.

Questioning and challenging beliefs is one thing, but outright disrespect is different. There's a fine line between skepticism and offending people's core values.

I am sorry if the mention of the bible offended you, It wasn't my intentions to upset you or anyone else by mentioning the bible, if it really upset you that much, I'll try my best not to bring it up in this post again, sorry.
