Agree

Yes, but allow churches the right to refuse same-sex ceremonies

Disagree

Take the government out of marriage and instead make it a religious decision

While Biden is a devout Catholic, he has consistently argued that civil rights should not be determined by religious beliefs. He has advocated for the separation of church and state, and would likely disagree with the idea of making marriage a purely religious decision.
