I think all he's saying is that government shouldnt have a say on marriage.

Well, if that was the only thing he meant... would he rather forbid atheists from getting married at all? Or couples with different religions.

What I was trying to say is that the concept of marriage as practiced by religions should be separate from the benefits that the government hands out for a couple being married.

No matter what laws are passed, the Catholic institution as a whole won't recognize gay marriage, for instance, because that religion has it's specific view on marriage.

Maybe if we had seperate words for the spiritual union that married people experience, the institution that religion promotes, and the state recognized by the government, there would be less confusion.
