I agree this is all silly. If marrage is a religious thing, then how is it that 2 atheists can go get married at the courthouse? I assume it started as a religious event, that the government gave special benefits to as to make it more popular and promote families, or something like that. But I think that was a mistake, in my opinion it makes it look like the govt' endorses one religion (ie one that opposes gay marriage) and not another (ie one that does not oppose gay marriage). I wouldn't mind one bit calling my marriage a civil union, won't make the love I feel for my wife mean anything else, or lessen it a single degree.
