Using phrases like "marriage is a sacrament" is the wrong approach in my opinion. It is sure to raise the ire of a number of anti religion groups and will make any constitutional amendments a tougher fight.

I agree. I don't think Frist should have used the word "sacrament." Marriage is simply good public policy and is certainly not unique to Christianity or any other religion. Even many atheists agree that the institution of marriage is the bedrock of civilized society and uniquely beneficial for the upbringing of children.
