No, allow civil unions but don’t call it marriage

Some religious conservatives may support civil unions as a compromise, allowing same-sex couples to have legal rights without redefining the traditional concept of marriage. This position has been taken by some religious leaders, such as Pope Francis, who has expressed support for civil unions while maintaining that marriage should be between a man and a woman.

Take the government out of marriage and instead make it a religious decision

While some religious conservatives may agree with the idea of taking the government out of marriage and making it a religious decision, this position is not universally held within the ideology. Many religious conservatives still believe that the government should uphold traditional definitions of marriage and may not support a complete separation of church and state in this matter.
