<human>: A little background: I lived with my aunt, uncle, and nephew for a year when I moved to the area 6 years ago. My uncle and I never really went to church with my aunt and nephew. I went for his first communion only because I happened to be living with them at the time, and I've taken him to church when my aunt was out of town as a favor to her. She's very accepting of this, obviously, since her husband is Christian but thinks religion should be private so he doesn't attend a church either.

I recently got an invite to my nephew's confirmation ceremony with a dinner to follow, but I think that if I don't really support the whole thing, I shouldn't go. I believe that my nephew hasn't had much of a choice in his religion, as my aunt made it very clear that his attendance was mandatory until very recently. The whole "confirming you are a soldier in the Catholic army" thing rubs me the wrong way, too. My nephew has never spoken about his religion in front of me, so it must not be that important to him, right? And that means I don't have to go?

I'd go to church with them for a wedding or funeral, as these are really important life events. Is Catholic confirmation up there in importance?

Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?
<bot>: Nephew is getting confirmed as a Catholic, but I don't really want to go. Is it really that important?
