UK Could Allow Religious Unions That Closely Resemble Marriage
This shouldn't be hard to sort out. Let couples, any couple of sound mind and limited cosanguinity, have a legal ceremony to ensure they become a unit in the eyes of the government for tax benefits, hospital visiting rights, funerary responsibilities, parenting contracts, etc. If they want to involve a religious element, let them then get a blessing from their pastor/priest/imam/wiccan/religious person of their choice. If the venue is comfortable hosting both elements, then great.
Making marriage a religious issue is not helpful for anyone.
