Wait, so you're saying most people are fine with the government recognizing gay marriage as long as they don't force the church to condone it?
or are you saying they don't want it being called marriage because that's a religious act, which in and of itself leads into the discussion of you forbidding someone from having a SECULAR GOVERNMENT term of "marriage" applied to them due to some Private religous groups using the same term?
I'm saying, what would be wrong with having a govt recognized civil union for everybody and then letting those who wanted, and the church approved, do the religious thing?
IMHO, it comes down to gays wanting the term "marriage" and the social/religious acceptance that comes with it.
