Marriage protection need not rest on religion alone. In fact in the political world to use mere religion to argue in favor of traditional marriage is to surrender the logic and reason side to the enemy.
ALL arguments must be able to stand WITHOUT religion in order to win the day and future.
Your reply seems utterly unrelated to my post.
However, it is not necessary to use religion to make a case for enforceable marriage between a man and a woman. The known benefits for the formation of a stable and productive society are sufficient. However, this will not persuade people whose time horizon doesn’t even reach tomorrow morning.
