Even Pope John Paul II is against Baptism in this manner... and the Roman Cathoic Church has hostorically been a big recruiter.
Someone should not be baptized by blackmail, or without maternal/paternal consent.
Old story: John Paul refused to baptize a child when he was a priest because he learned the child was Jewish, and was raised by Catholics during WWII, since it wasn't the parents wishes, he wouldn't do it.
Offering is one thing... blackmail is wrong.
