I recognize that there are other religions against gay marriage, but I've honestly never heard of anyone opposing gay marriage that isn't religious. If you can tell me the name of someone that is opposed to it and not religious, let me know. Also, christians are still the majority of the population in total, not just more than atheists, but more than all other religions/non-religions combined.
