By "faith",what do you mean...Christians,or any religion?

Because there are consequences and ramifications to what you propose, that you haven't thought out.

I mean any religion. I realize this is radical, scarey radical & I have thought out a lot of the ramifications, though prolly not all of them. I took into account the exsistance of all kinds of nutty wannabe religions & the kinds of "marriages" they might come up with. Most will stick with the state system we already have in place, cuz the laws are not against their beliefs. I took into account the laws involving Social Security & old grannys only married in faith living on dog food after their husband has died. I'm sure it would the the first thing legislators would feel the need to fix, where the state has to recognize marriages of traditional faiths, as defined by those faiths, instead of the other way around.

The most important thing I took into consideration was the profit factor, the huge chunk of lawyers discovering a new motivation to write laws to lure the *majority* back into the system again.

In the meantime, people of the traditional faiths will have been given motivation to reconnect with their church in a better way, cuz the churches have learned to stand up for what they are supposed to stand for.

My goal is not to fix the state system, so much as it is to push the state out of the religion business. Secular humanism should be recognized for what it is, a false religion, a set of beliefs that create man as god.
