How can you marry for religion and not be recognized by us government?

If you want your marriage to be recognized by the US government (and it is not a same-sex marriage) just get a marriage license, that is all they ask. In the event that you wish to have a same-sex marriage, legality varies by state (or you can go to Canada). Religious motives will not affect the issue of government recognition; governments are officially neutral on religious topics. We have freedom of religion.
clarification:
There have been cases of religious "marriages" involving young girls which the state does not recognize, even if the "clergy" were authorized to perform a marriage. Since the older man marrying the young girl is a crime and one party is under the age of legal consent, the marriage will not be legal. Many states also will not legally recognize multiple marriages under their bigamy laws.
