Probably because the idea of marriage being a purely religious institution is a liberal invention.
Depends on the frame of reference. In the US (which is the frame of reference for this discussion), the religious institution came before the legal institution. The legal institution gave legal power to the religious institution and codified religion into law.
This should never have happened. It did long ago, and there is no use in crying about what is already done. At this point, we can choose to continue to add wrong to wrong or we can choose to right the wrong.
Lets right the wrong and remove government from religion instead of getting government more deeply involved in it.
