Concur. As a religious officiant, it is offensive to me that the secular government should claim any parity for or authority over a sacrament.
I find acceptable their granting a secular license or endorsing a secular contract between two or more parties, but claiming dominion over a covenant with the Goddess (or God, as ye may have it.) is ... obscene.
