Marriage is not inherently religious.

Did you really write, "Just say your [sic] married"? Now who is being silly? Just tell the IRS you're married on your tax return when you're not and see how that works out.
Assuming your presupposition is correct; why can heterosexuals marry while you're in favor of discriminating against homosexuals based upon their sexual orientation?

But that excuse isn't enough to say 2 mom's or 2 dads is ideal. Yeah I guess it's better than no parents... But nothing Beats a mom and a dad. And the only people who dont think so.... Never expierenced it ...
There is no banning. But we should educate that having a mom and a dad is ideal for children. Exceptions to violence ofc.
I experienced a mom and a dad. Dad was an excellent example of a bad example. A single parent or two moms would have been better.
It is a damn shame so many kids have grown up in single parent homes because heterosexuals can't follow the divorce rules in the Bible. Why aren't there religious divorce ceremonies? When ya'll can follow your own rules then maybe you can tell others who they can and can't marry.

There are a variety of valid reasons to not provide service to anyone. And regardless ... It's their choice who they wanna do business with of they exclude people then they face the issue of losing business and going out of business.
Individual rights trump all. Because we all have the same individual rights. It's the ONLY "fair" way.
Which means you support discrimination in the name of freedom at the expense of justice. Individual rights aren't unlimited.

He doesn't speak for me? I am a christian who believes in God but I have made it clear .... Your salvation is your business, and mine is mine. So I don't advocate forcing my beliefs on anyon else.... In my view they will have their awakening when God speaks to them.
Stats have shown atheists are losing numbers. So as you get older you get in touch with your spiritual self.

Here a politician explains the motives of his vote, “I don’t hate anybody. I don’t want to discriminate against anybody. I’m not phobic, but I simply can’t affirm homosexuality. My compass won’t go there, knowing what I know biblically."
He cast his vote based upon the Bible. If you think this is strictly a government ban in which religion doesn't play a part you are fooling yourself or naive.

For the same reasons you did.
