You apparently know nothing about the the Supreme Court case Loving v. Virginia.

The very foundation and backbone of the argument used against legalizing the marriage of a white person to a black person was based on religious objections. Christian scriptures were cited in the Supreme Court in defense of maintaining the state of Virginia's "anti-miscegenation" law.

Now let's look up a valuable article on that very subject at the official website of the University of Virgina's School of Law ... the very claim you make is demolished here: Gay Marriage Opponents Mimic Objections to Interracial Marriage, Forde-Mazrui Says

Do you support all religious objections or just Christian ones?

By advocating for religious objections in legal proceedings you are advocating for all religions.

Do you really want our country to go down that path?

You do realise the legislature cannot treat Christian objections and differently than Muslim objections.

Are you really for the Islamic fundamentalists at the DMV that won't help your mother because he can see her face?

What about Democrat religious lefties?

Both options are a financial burden. Sad that I even have to point that out.

Government owns you, and your marriage.
Bow down mundane and do as you're told.
I don't know. But I suspect the law originally had to do something to do with the same fears that inspired the Mann Act (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mann_Act) and was intended to make sure that under-age girls were getting married of their own free will and with their parent's consent.

And?

Having a job isn't a constitutional right, or would you like us to rewrite the rules so that every Bible thumper is guaranteed employment?

If she doesn't like the duties she has to perform, she can find another line of work. Simple as that.
