If an atheist and an agnostic couple plan to have a church wedding, are they supposed to inform the church that they are atheists/agnostics? Is it possible? I know it may look somewhat hypocritical and nonsensical, but the couple are required to get married by law (even though they do not even believe in the importance of marriage) just for formality's sake. One of the partners also does not want to have a civil wedding because of his political view (one believes that it is like begging the gov't for permission and does not like the idea of begging and getting involved with the gov't), and would rather go for a church wedding since it's more like part of tradition. I can't explain everything here because it is complicated and is going to be a long discussion, but based on this overview, I hope someone here could share their thoughts on this.
