>>>>You're assuming that only Christianity (and, in fact, only certain brands of Christianity) is a religion. Mormons are allowed more than one wife, even though most don't partake of that right, but it's there (unless they've changed the rules without telling me). Eastern religions also marry. Their marriages are based in religion, and they allow more than one wife.

>>>Mormons can't marry more than 1 wife in the US. They agreed to stop that practice quite some time ago. You are agreeing with my points here, the laws are almost all rooted in religious doctrine.

>>And no, I wasn't aware the Mormons had changed their rules. My bad. Although, if marriage is based in religion, why did they change? If they can change that rule regardless of their interpretation of God's laws, then why not homosexual marriage too?

All laws do not have a basis in religion. You're going astray right off the bat when you say that.
