I wonder if it's attitudes like this that cause people to think that atheism is a religion.
Atheism is not a religion. A secular wedding is an atheist wedding. Did you (or your husband) really think that atheists must bring particular attention to their lack of belief? ...like "dearly beloved, we are gathered here today in the presense of no God," or something like that? Seriously, an atheist wedding is simply a wedding where you declare your love and devotion for each other without mentioning God, gods, or tooth faries. It's truly that simple...
Out of wild curiosity, if you did have an "atheist wedding," what would your vows have been?
