There's no reason why the state can't have one standard and religion has another. I really have a hard time seeing what's so controversial about limiting the state to only grant "civil unions" - and granting them without discrimination - and leaving "marriages" to the realm of religion. That there is even a question about doing this speaks volumes about where our "separation" is right now.
