What is the difference between a religious officiator and a civil celebrant?

A religious officiator is a person authorised by both the Australian Government and a particular religious group to conduct marriage ceremonies.  The decision of which particular religious officiator you choose to conduct your marriage ceremony would usually be based on which religious group you are currently member of, or which group your family has a history with.

A civil celebrant is a person authorised by the Australian Government to conduct marriage ceremonies.
