Marriage has various legal implications that have nothing to do with religion, so it most definitely has meaning in a secular world. The United States government is a secular institution after all, and it's always had its hand in marriage. |
You're saying it has meaning because it has meaning. That's circular reasoning and tells you nothing. Why does marriage have any meaning in secular society. Why have marriage at all? Legal laws could be made without marriage. One could simply sign a contract in which it's based on nothing but legal defense. Contract like civil contracts makes sense but marriage is pointless in a secular country.
