So whatever the majority of people think is moral? I guess the Nazis were justified in the 30s & 40s and slavery was perfectly fine here. Brown vs. Board of Education should be overturned as well since segregation was accepted at the time and therefore moral, right? In any case you just said that the government doesn't decide what is moral, so why would they determine who can have a civil marriage based on morality in your view? A civil marriage is not the same thing as a religious marriage. There's nothing to "bless" in a civil union between 2 people, it is meant to give them equal rights under the law for things like inheritance, hospital visits, etc. Even athiests get married everyday in this country in the eyes of the law.
You're trying to turn the tables around, the question is really what right does the government have to prevent them from getting married if they allow it for other people? You tell me that. The burden is on the government to rationalize why they should have the right to prevent individuals having some sort of freedom, not the other way around. I thought conservatives wanted freedom from government interferring in their private lives? Obviously there are exceptions when people don't live their lives like you would. And actually you said a lot about Christianity in your various arguments with Opus throughout this thread.
