as much as i think she is stupid, at least she is loyal to her beliefs. her point would stick if marriage was not recognized by the state. but since marriage is recognized by the state than it is separated from god and religion by the 1st amendment, which means all US marriages are secular marriages under the law. if they want marriage to be a religious thing, than they need to petition the government to stop recognizing it and treating married people differently than unmarried people. so long as marriage is a state recognized institution it is divorced from any religion that uses it. there is a wall of separation between church and state. either the state recognizes marriage in which case it is civil, or the state does not recognize it, in which case it is religious and may involve god in its process.
