With that, I do not believe that the Church of whatever denomination should be marrying gay and lesbian couples. Remember, a Church is the house of our lord and that distinctly makes it a religious “thing”.

That's the trouble with this argument. Nobody is asking the church to marry or to even get involved. The government, which is supposed to have no religous affliation, is being asked to peform civil unions. This is no different than what is happening now. The government has always issued civil unions and left it up to the church to marry two people under G-d. However, given our current administration, those two separate concepts have been intermingled.
