I think that everyone who has commented on this topic so far supports the proposals to introduce same-sex marriage, but on a point of information I would be interested to know if opinions on this issue necessarily divide so neatly along believer/non-believer lines. I realise that most religious bodies and religious people hold the view that marriage properly so-called can only be between a man and woman (there will be some individuals who disagree but they would be out of step with their particular religion). But is the converse also true - do all atheists necessarily support same-sex marriage? Or are there any out there who subscribe to the view that marriage by definition is something between a man and a woman and whilst fully recognising the rights of same sex couples to enter legally recognised and protected partnerships these should be called something other than marriage?
