I didn't comment on its origins. I said that marriage is (unfortunately) tied very much with religion. I'm aware of its origins, but there's no reversing the effect that religion had on it.

Ehm, why not? Before births and deaths were kept by churches, now it's governments that handle that (well, I think in most do, not sure if all of them) and you wouldn't dare to associate it with religion, why can't the same happen to marriage in the future?
