I doubt it's "in almost all" as there's plenty of religions that actually do not prohibit such. One of the larger, popular religions is hinduism, for example.



Indeed, I am not even wanting to change religious behaviour in this case.



As I explained, marriage can be seen in two different ways: one is the religious bind, and the other is where the bind is between the people themselves.

Now ask yourself, why would people wish to declare their affection and love to another person publicly and you should already have the answer to your question.



Indeed, but there's plenty of countries where only heterosexual couples are given special treatment by the law, homosexual people are excluded.



Of course they should be allowed to do it, if they find a priest or similar representative of the religion who is willing to do it. The law shouldn't force those aforementioned representatives to do it, that I agree with, but they shouldn't be denied either.
