It would help, but the gov’t would still try to define marriage and force folks to accept whatever bizarre combination they deem to be marriage, as opposed to what a person’s faith says about it.
The only way anyone can force me to recognize an impossibility like “gay marriage”,against the teaching of my faith, is if the state is involved in the institution and forces me to do so.

Ultimately, you know whose fault that is? Our own. We all talk like the government is this foreign entity imposed upon us from on high by some mysterious force that we cannot possibly understand, but only accept and deal with.
I disagree. If we really are a commonwealth, a representative system in which the people are the source of sovereignty, then let's act like it. Let's stop playing patty cake and whining about how stuff like impeaching judges or defeating these losers in primaries or using the full power of the Constitution to beat these losers is "radical" and "scares the moderates."
We ARE the government - let's start acting like it.
