People don't need to be religious to get married. So there is no grounds to give the word "marriage" to the religious organisations. The ceremonies are purely decorative these days anyway, and not legally binding.
So no, "marriage" is not religious no matter what anyone say. Not unless you want
only those who have a registered religion could marry. There is nothing to separate. Religion can disappear tomorrow and it would still change nothing of legal marriage.
