Okay, I'd be fine with the idea of marriage as solely a religious institution, the parameter of which could be decided by each denomination, except that California guarantees a right of civil marriage.
For that matter, if the supports of the amendment reject, as Prsteve11 claims, "non-Christian unions," should we expect a follow-up amendment that would make it illegal to have a marriage which has not been blessed by a Christian pastor? Where would that leave atheists, Jews, Buddhists, and other non-Christians?
Or maybe the religious institutions could realize that they're blessing a union and that the state is creating a marriage as a real and legal contract.
