Was you baptised as a child?

Jai Mata Di!
No, I was not. My family is/was Southern Baptists, and Baptists don't perform child baptisms.

I never did the believer's baptism when I got older, either, mostly because I didn't believe.

And as I always say, none of it ever stuck because I've been a Hindu for 8 or 9 years now.

I was baptised as a child in a evangelical-lutheran church. I have left that church and christianity. Now i am a new ager

Was you baptised as a child?

Did you left the church or are you still a member?
Yep, as a Pisco.

My parents thought that good manners required such observances.

I had a time of religious enthusiasm when I was 14, and was confirmed (a practice I'm told has since fallen into desuetude). Not long after, I'd drifted completely away. It never felt relevant.

I was baptized at age 36 seven years after receiving Jesus as Lord and Savior. I have not usually become a member of a church but do attend regularly.

For the last year of my mother's life I became her 24 hour a day care taker. I have a housemate for my place and left it pretty much up to her to take care of that and I moved back to my mother's house. I used to take her to church on Sundays and they knew that I was not a member and was well received there. It was because I still respected their beliefs that I would not take communion with them. I seriously think that they would not have been offended, but to me it would have been hypocritical.
I believe I would not have been offended. The concept is that if you do take communion without remembering the reason for the sacrifice then you do so to your own detriment.

Yes I was. I was fully submerged at a Baptist church.

I've long left the church and faith since. If you told me when I was baptized that I would leave the faith as an adult, I wouldn't have believed you.

I was baptized in the Catholic Church and got my confirmation when I was 10 I believe.
I was an altar boy and acolyte. Left the Church when I was around 18. Later I requested a deregistration to be not a member of the Catholic Church anymore.

I was baptized in the Lutheran Church as a baby but no longer attend. Instead, I go with my wife to mass in our local Catholic Church.
