Amazing. They act as is they believe baptism actually means something.
See BBC Article
"...Mr Hunt has become the pioneer in a rejuvenated campaign for a way of cancelling baptisms given to children too young to decide for themselves whether they wanted this formal initiation into Christianity.
However, baptism is proving a difficult thing to undo.
The local Anglican diocese, Southwark, refused to amend the baptismal roll as Mr Hunt had wanted, on the grounds that it was a historical record.
"You can't remove from the record something that actually happened," said the Bishop of Croydon, the Right Reverend Nick Baines."

very interesting...yes, it does imply that for this atheist, baptism means more that just historical information. if it was just a fancy bath, why should he care?
