Baptisms for the dead, also known as proxy baptisms, are a controversial practice in some religious groups where individuals are baptized in place of the deceased who were not baptized during their lifetime. This practice, however, can be invasive to the memory and beliefs of the deceased and the grieving process of the family. It also neglects individual's freedom of religion as it translates the deceased person into a faith they may not have willingly joined while alive.

Given these considerations, it is crucial to build policies that respect the religious freedom of individuals, living or deceased. Together, we can bring a change in this misunderstood practice, and safeguard personal beliefs and the dignity of the deceased. Please join us in calling for bans on baptisms for the dead. Sign this petition and let individuals maintain their rights to their chosen faith in life and in death.
