Per capita atheists marry significantly less (see: Atheism and marriage).
Due to the Christianization of the Western World, in the West atheist weddings are generally similar to Christian weddings minus the religious elements.
Due to the limited amount of atheist music about love and marriage (see: Atheist music and Atheism and romance and Atheism and love), atheist weddings feature nonreligious songs, but not atheist wedding songs.
Weddings in atheistic Japan
Japan is one of the most atheistic countries in the world.[1]
Ceremonies modeled on the Christian chapel weddings of Europe and North America have generally replaced traditional Shinto wedding rites in recent years. It is estimated that 75 to 85% of marriage ceremonies are conducted at wedding halls or at hotels providing Western weddings.[2]
