From PBS article:

In an effort to gain enough Republican votes to pass the bill through the Senate, a group that consisted of Collins, Portman, Thillis, Baldwin and Sinema on Monday announced an amendment designed to assuage concerns about religious freedom. That amendment specifies, in part, that the bill will not require nonprofit religious organizations to provide "any services, facilities, or goods for the solemnization or celebration of a marriage."

It further states that the act will not deny or alter any tax-exemption eligibility, such as that held by churches and universities that may decline to recognize same-sex marriages; and that it will not require the federal government to recognize polygamous marriages.

Not saying we aren’t on a slippery slope, but I believe tax exemptions are protected (at least for now)

And the church I used to attend, will only marry people who are part of the congregation; and to become a member, you have to believe marriage is between a man and woman only. I could see that becoming a core requirement for all Christian churches real quick.
