The country was founded on religion and it is not easily separated. And actually it is keeping a tradition founded in antiquity. It is not just the Judeo Christian religions we are talking about here. It is as far as I know well maybe ALL of them. Most of them are much less forgiving of homosexuality than christians. I am saying both sides would be recognized equally just one is called marriage and is done by a church and the other is called <insert your chosen name here> and is done by non religious authority. Even heteros that aren't religious would not be "married". It is not about same sex marriage, it is about separating those who want a religious union and those that do not.

How do you mean specifically 'founded on religion' because its said an awful lot and has rarely been explained to me, especially when in the US for example the founding fathers were weary and distrusting even of organized religion.
Non religious people get married all the time, my sister married with a justice of the peace and not in a church. Should she consider herself not married since no religious ceremony or approval was given?
No religion has a copyright on the word marriage, whats behind these anti gay marriage laws is simple fear, ignorance and intolerance of gay people.
