Pretty sure marriage predates organized religion.

    Is that a feeling or are you thinking of something specifically?

    Marriage is just making a promise to another person in the presence of witnesses. The government part just ensures certain rights and protections, particularly involving health and money.

    I have no idea why religion would need to be involved. It's not involved in mine.
