"Marriage no matter which way you slice it is a religious institution"

No it isnt hystorically speaking.

In germany you can get married only through state. A priest does not have the right to marry you. Ofcourse you can marry in church but the paperwork has to be done by the state and after they processed it its legally binding. The priest is just for show.
