The only involvement of government would be on 1st Amendment grounds in exercising religious liberty.

For courts of law to hear such arguments there would have to be clear scriptural references and a long history of religious customs deriving from those references (Scientology doesn’t cut it) for the court to adjudicate whether there was any restriction on the free exercise of religion.

There are however, clear scriptural foundations to oppose homosexual perversion. And that is where the fight now centers its focus.

I could not disagree more. The courts should not be in the business of determining whether someone's sincerely-held religious beliefs are sufficiently based in scripture to warrant First Amendment protection.
