It's amazing how many people think marriage is a religious institution. In the United States people do get married in churches and temples but that does not mean marriage does not exist outside of religion.
Almost every culture in the world has the equivalent of marriage. Even cultures that are very different from each other will have remarkably similar definitions of marriage. This proves that marriage is a natural product of humanity.
In countries that aren't as religious as America people, even atheists, are still getting married, and governments are calling these unions marriage.
Marriage is a social institution, traditionally reserved for hetero couples (often of the same race), but should today be extended to homosexual couples.
