I'm guessing no? Which would be a pretty significant departure from the civil rights and equality justifications for homosexual marriage.
"God told me to do it" is a lot less compelling IMO.

I think you'd be guessing wrong.
I've never met a polyamoric triangle (or other combination) that had a religious bent, but I've met other types. One of my close (female) friends lives in a longterm relationship with two people (a man and a woman). Obviously actual polygamy isn't possible here because it's not legal.
Possibly the worlds first polyamoric three-way wedding was recently in Colombia between three homosexual men.

Three gay men say they have gained legal recognition as the first "polyamorous family" in Colombia, where same-sex marriages were legalised last year.
"We wanted to validate our household... and our rights, because we had no solid legal basis establishing us as a family," said one of the men, actor Victor Hugo Prada, in a video published by Colombian media on Monday.
He said he and his two partners, sports instructor John Alejandro Rodriguez and journalist Manuel Jose Bermudez, signed legal papers with a solicitor in the city of Medellin, establishing them as a family unit with inheritance rights.

Lawyer and gay rights activist German Rincon Perfetti said there are many three-person unions in Colombia but this was the first one to be legally recognised.
