So why use only the Judeo-Christian form of marriage? By allowing only one form to be officially recognized by the govt. and allowing automatic benefits otherwise unavailable to flow to that marriage, one religion is being promoted over another. Thus, the only conclusion is for the govt. not to be in the business of marriage at all or in any way. Yet, the Christian right will never allow that because they for some reason think that if the US Govt. does not put their religion first, their religion will somehow fail or be less. That insecurity is ridiculous to me because I would believe regardless of what the Govt. told me. In the end, politicians know religion is a wedge issue and they use it that way, which belies the true intent of any form of Christianity I know of.
