There is "civil marriage" as in Justice of the Peace and marriage license, and there is religious marriage, as in church, synagogue, mosque, etc.
This is a "civil" arrangement and should not be put upon the religions. And I think it should be termed a "civil union" or "domestic partnership" instead of a "marriage".
Terms (words) convey concepts, and homosexual unions are not the same concept as heterosexual marriages.
