"What about Jewish folks that marry - doesn't their marriage count too? "

Or any number of other religions. The argument that marriage is a uniquely Christian concept seems a little odd...

Good catch. Christianity builds on Judaism and the Old Testament. So I'll restate to say that marriage between a man and woman is Judeo-Christian, but not exclusively so. However, you missed my main point, which was that the U.S. is largely Christian and that means most people in the U.S. will continue to believe that marriage should be between a man and woman only, at least until Christianity is diluted within the U.S.
