I think your question, Bloody, is bass ackwards. One should be asking, if there's a supposed seperation between church and state, why does the gov. recognize Christian or Jewish marriages at all? Pagan, Wiccan, and the rest are the ones who've got it right.
What I mean is...Marriage affords people certain benefits...As in Health Insurance, Taxes, Social Security, etcetera...Sooo...Since they DO recognize Christian Marriage as qualification for these benefits, why not ALL religious unions?...

The irony is, if they DID accept the unions of all religions, there would actually BE a separation of church and state, as the qualifications for 'marriage benefits' would no longer BE based on ANY religion, but only on the union itself.......Hmm...Not sure if you guys are gonna understand that...I don't know how else to put it, and I know what I mean...lol
