I got married on a beach in St.Lucia by a retired council worker who retained the right to perform marriages to do it in her retirement. I made sure all mention of religion was excluded from the process.
As I mentioned before, religion fills insecurity and provides comfort, my parents are both born again and, as with so many who find religion later in life, their lives were unhappy and christianity restored that happiness. My first impressions were good, because they were both happy again, but having had more time to think about it, they could have found happiness through herione, that doesn't mean I would approve. Just finding happiness alone is not necessarily good, if everyone had inner peace there would be no need for religion, but most people try to find inner peace through religion, to me this is like lying to yourself to make yourself feel OK.
