Now, on topic: Religion is annoying. However, our country was founded on the foundation of separation. Having religious references in political aspects just creates more FUD. Look at all the churches that protest gay marriage. Now, because of religion, the legal systems are starting to deny gays the right to marriage because the zealots use the argument "Marriage is reserved for a man and a woman to share their love with". Marriage in my eyes is the ability to share your love together in a binding manner between anyone. Afterall, it's been proven that among humans, love is genderless. Had religions not interfered, everyone would be able to get married, no questions asked.
