Why not just call marriages performed in churches "holy marriages"?

Or call every legal coupling a union and let people call it a marriage if they want. If it's such a religious term, leave it up to individuals and keep the government's hands off it.

There wouldn't be any constitutional issues with this, would there? This sounds like a job for the Satanists and the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
