Christianity has adopted many pagan traditions yet we pagans do not say that they should not be practicing these acts (I don't have any qualms with the fact that many Christians light candles for the dead, for example).

Of course.

From a legal standpoint, marriage is literally nothing more than a tax break.

We have to remember that textbooks and the Discovery Channel are poor places to learn about the Bible and Christianity. Very poor.
