I could not agree more! The term 'Marriage' is a religious one and should have never been allowed to become a legal definition. To me it's like saying that someone who has received the Christian sacrament of Confirmation gets a special tax credit each year.

And it would also rule out making laws based on things in the bible

I do not agree with this half of your statement however. If we do away with laws that we got from the bible, then suddenly it becomes okay to lie, steal or cheat on your spouse. Our founding fathers made the majority of their rules based on the Bible. (Which is why you will find the 10 Commandments posted in almost every single courthouse in the country.) I don't think too many people would argue that we should legalize murder, so to some extent, we need these rules.
