What do you mean "you religious people"?  I am not sure religious people are going to be happy with the state labeling everything "Civil unions".  I proposed the civil union solution as a way to deal with the issue of homosexual marriage without having to change the values of society to redefine what it considers to be marriage, before the issue can be resolved.

Yeah, cause it's very hard to say that marriage is between two people (of either gender) rather than between a man and a woman. SOOOO HAAARD.

Why not just say a marriage is between any number of entities who are legally able to sign contracts?  Why deny polyamorious individuals the right to have more than one spouse?  Do you want to rob them of their happiness?  Care to show how the current safeguards to protect people in marital relationships now will work, such as the dividing up of property when one individual in a marriage to more than one person would work?  How about custody of the children?
