Even if it is religious (which it's not, you can be married entirely separate from any religious entity and rely on the state entirely for it), your question begs another question:
Which religion? Do we go back to the Greeks? Or, for the sake of pandering to the religious right's argument, restrict it to monotheism?
People have been married long before Christianity ever came about. I don't see how they think it's okay to claim the practice as their own now, especially with all the crazy religions we have in the world today.
