AITJ for declining to be the godmother of my best friend's child because I refused to lie during the baptismal vows?

¿Soy la mala por negarme a ser la madrina de la hija de mi mejor amiga porque no quise mentir en los votos del bautizo?

OP's best friend of 15 years asked her to be godmother to her newborn daughter, but OP—a committed atheist—couldn't bring herself to promise before a church that she'd raise the child in a faith she doesn't believe in. Now the friendship is hanging by a thread.

Llevo días dándole vueltas a esto y necesito una perspectiva externa porque ya no sé si estoy siendo íntegra o simplemente egoísta. Tengo 32 años. Mi mejor amiga, Valentina, y yo nos conocemos desde los 17.
