Are nonpracticing Christians allowed to get married in a church?

(I'm not sure what a "nonpracticing Christian" means - I take it that it means that they are Christians but do not attend a church.) Whether they can be married in a particular church depends on that church's policy, and some churches are given more freedom to set this than others, depending on the denomination. Some churches require them to be members to get married, it all depends on the church. Hope I helped!!

What is the church's view on same-sex marriage?

The viewpoint varies by denomination and affiliation. For the most part, Christian churches denounce same-sex marriages as invalid and even sinful. There are, however, some denominations whose clergy will officiate at a same-sex marriage, but most do not permit it. There are very few denominations that treat same-sex marriage as equal to opposite-sex marriage. There are some denominations that ordain same-sex married clergy, although most of those do so with the understanding that they will maintain chastity (i.e., not have sex).
