Atheists, do you support same-sex marriage?

Atheists, do you support same-sex marriage?
Yesterday while discussing the legalization of same-sex marriage with a conservative relative, she claimed that the majority of Americans don't support the legalization, and that it wasn't just a religious thing. She claimed that a high percentage of atheists and non-believers don't support it. I thought I'd set up a poll here and figure out if that's true.

So if you're an atheist, please vote on the poll. If you're not, still feel free to add your two cents.

Where is the poll?

Ask your relative for a non religious reason to be against same sex marriage. All the ones that I have heard are very easy to tear apart.

Yes, I support same sex marriage

Actually, that claim is just bullshit to begin with: The majority of Americans don't support same sex marriage? Since when was 46% a majority of anything?

54% percent of Americans (read: an actual majority) support legal same sex marriage, and the trend is that this number is rising, not falling. OP, your relative was talking out her ass.

RE: Atheists, do you support same-sex marriage?
From what I've heard, the majority of Americans DO support same sex marriage, by about 60%.

I support it. I support adults doing whatever they want to do, as long as everyone involved consents to it. this neatly avoids what some people would call a slippery slope into legalized pepedophilia, beastiality, and necrophilia. Other things like polygamy, polyamory, and prostitution I don't have problems with. Incest is a bit gray.

Voted Yes. The only problem I have with same-sex marriage, is not the same-sex part. it's the idea of marriage and being legally-morally tied to someone as if they own me/I own them. Where's the fun in that?

It's not about ownership but about commitment. It shows that you intend to never leave that person, its kinda romantic.

It's more a pledge of undying loyalty. Not saying your body and belongings are mine, and my body and belongings are yours.

Of course.

I'm not American though, I'm in England.

I can't believe this is even an issue in this day and age. Religion for the lose.

Of course I'm supporting it. I'm not an American, but as Esquilax pointed out, a majority of Americans is actually in favor of allowing same sex marriage.
