Okay, now where does religion fit in?
And what about people who either don't want kids or can't have them? (Unless of course having kids is not necessary for a family. I personally do not think they are.)

I'm not sure what your fixation on the religion aspect of this is....Religion is the root of our American vision of marriage, as are many, many, many of our laws. That is undeniable.

I personally think that religion has no place deciding anything in our society. Religious folks need to SHUT UP about the issues they find to be "against God's will" and just not participate in the so-called "questionable" actions. We have the Separation of Church and State for a reason, and that is so those of us who are NOT religious don't have to hear all the time about how we are "going to hell".
