THIS IS NOT A QUESTION OF FAITH

I have considered myself asnostic for a few years now. I have faith more in the people I know and everyone, then some silly religion with it's own agenda. I also believe in a greater god, but mostly for comfort, to hate, and to thank. Anywho, this coming fall I am going to have to make a decision of getting confirmed by the Catholic Church. I am not so sure that I should do it. I know that it would make my mom happy, but I feel like I am just flat out disrespecting Catholicism to follow their ways even though I don't believe it. I don't really care if I am found out, I am not like an in-your-face religion hater, but still, it would kill my mom. So, my question is, should go through with it for my mom, or not?

THIS IS NOT A QUESTION OF FAITH, I DON'T BELIEVE IN CHRISTIANITY, PLEASE TO NOT TELL ME OF THE GLORIES OF HEAVAN, JESUS, AND WHAT NOT (link)
WHAT? YOU MUST GET CONFIRMED, IT IS GOD'S PLAAAAN!!!

Just kidding. Seriously though, I don't think you should do something you don't want. I mean, I know from experience it's hard to not do something your mom wants to do, but getting confirmed would mean getting yourself involved in something you don't believe in.
If it's not something you really believe in, it's far too much trouble to go through.

If you DO decide to get confirmed, you should pick St. Alfwold to put onto your middle name.
