Even if we incorrectly assume that marriage is religious in nature, it ceased to be a religious function when we gave state the right to marry outside of religion. Couples joined by a Justice of the Peace - even agnostic/atheist couples - are, legally and colloquially, considered married. The whole "hurf redefining marriage" spiel is simply dishonest rhetoric. I'm sorry you bought into it.
