Re: Gay marriages... dictated by religious authorities
[ QUOTE ]
I thought that the legislative existence of marriage was implemented to give some legal bite to the religious concept. I also assumed that's why gay marriage wasnt recognised (because it doesnt fit with what is religiously condoned as marriage).

You're probably right. My only point is that while atheists tend to be more liberal (blasé?) than theists, some of us have very similar morals and ideas about society for reasons not related to god or the bible. There are good secular arguments for most religious positions on social policy.
