So an athiest can't get married?
ok, your counter will be that they can get a "civil union."
And that civil union has *all* of the same tax and other advantages as religious "marriage."
I'll wager you're about the only conservative that will back that. Gay marriage isn't about the sex. It is about certain groups seeing this as the last bastion of civilization. Once you let the gays "marry", then it is the last straw in the end of the world as we (religious right) know it. And differentiation by name alone will not be enough to assuage the religious right. Just my guess...
