I can definitely get behind the idea of getting churches out of it altogether and going to something contract-based. But see, it appears to me you're not saying "Oh my god, the world will end if we let Teh Gheys have the same benefits from living together as anyone else", you're saying "Why should anyone have to put up with having all kinds of religious strings attached to this if they don't want to?" Which, I think you have to concede, is an entirely different argument. :)
(I will concede I failed to specify "I've never heard an argument SOLELY against gay marriage that wasn't ultimately based on religion.")
