How can a woman be an atheist and vilify the good book, but still insist on marriage ? Isnt that like saying?

yah christianity and the bible is a huge pile of misogyny, but I still like divorce (and alimony and child support and separation of assets).How can a woman be an atheist and vilify the good book, but still insist on marriage ? Isnt that like saying?
marriage is a legal contract between three parties, the man, the woman, and the state which henceforth recognizes the couple as a societal unit for the sake of property ownership and inheritance, and other forms of personal status. This is found in almost every society, Christian and non. Christianity did not invent marriage, nor does it have the monopoly on the practice.How can a woman be an atheist and vilify the good book, but still insist on marriage ? Isnt that like saying?
You don't have to be religious to be married.
Because marriage is completely different to chiristinaity - and also nearly all religions have marriage despite their diffeernt beliefs.





To my husband and I marriage is about a union of love. But it's good to remember that most chirstian rituals including marriage are taken from previous pagan rituals. Marriage is derived from pagan 'hand fasting'.
Marriage isn't about religion, it's about legal standing. If you have children, it's a good idea to get married. If you have intentions of spending your life with someone, it's a good idea to get married as it will determine the ';rights'; that you have regarding your loved one in the future should they become ill, if you need to handle any personal matters for them, etc.
Uh...marriage isn't just for the religiously devout. Besides, if person is a fan of marriage and wants to get married, it's pretty say to assume they don't ';like divorce';.





Saying that someone who pushes for marriage is a fan of divorce is like saying that someone who's a fan of basejumping is a fan of human sidewalk pizzas. Yeah it happens, but that's not the intent.





Anyway I see what you mean, but marriage is about more than money and assets. It's about commitment, love, compatibility, the willingness to work through troubled times, and officially declaring that you don't want anyone else ever again. It's a special thing, and shouldn't be viewed as a ball and chain, or as a ';trap';, because that's not what it is when it's done *right*.
You are thinking of a wedding. Marriage is a legal contract. A wedding is a religious cermony. My wife and I are married but we didn't have a wedding.
Marriage far and away predates '; the good book. ';
The reality is that Marrage is a state institution. It is not a right. That is why you must get a lisecense to marry.





Religion adds a moral aspect to life. Just as it does in marrage.





Because it is not exclusivly a religious instiution, they can agree to marry under the state's laws.





So people can igonore the moral side that religion brings and still partake in the legal/state side of the institution.
To an atheist woman, marriage is not about religion but a legal contract.


I am an atheist and I think that two people can live together and be happy without a piece of paper.
Marriage isn't necessarily a religious event. My parents are both agnostics, but they still got married.
I am an atheist. I don't think much of the ';good book'; and I don't think people always have to get married.





By the way, even people who believe in the bible cherry-pick the bits they like and leave the rest. It's a common, very human thing to do.
It isn't necessary to be married to sue for child support.
