Are you telling me that Atheists don't get married?

If marriage is solely tied to the Church and not the State, why does the Justice of the Peace conduct weddings?

One could easily argue marriage falls under the State category.  After all, no marriages would exist if the State does not provide Judges and Ministers the legal authority to sign wedding licenses.

Even though marriage is clearly a creation of religion it's become a legal agreement as well.

That's fine - I don't care if people want to get married - there shouldn't be financial incentives involved because that makes it social engineering.

People that are against the idea of marriage shouldn't be put in a different tax bracket because they choose to have children or step children out of wedlock.

That's like... pretty metaphysical, man.
Pretty much every ancient society had some kind of marriage and some kind of religion... I would not venture to guess which one came first though.
My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.
