They can just get married abroad. There are even online ceremonies now.

A decent number of Israeli Jews have to do that as well, since Israel recognizes Jewish marriages only under orthodox rabbis. Some Israeli Jews are not even considered Jews under strict orthodox rules.

They don't have to if they are one of the approved religions. That's a restriction on religious freedom.

I don't get how is this evidence of religious freedom.

And religion and marriage really shouldn't have anything to do with one another. Atheists can marry too.

They can. It’s called a civil union. Complaining about marriage laws in Israel in this uninformed way is just an antisemite dog whistle.

		A civil union is not the same as a marriage. And I'm not just talking about Israel.

So, not a religiously free state, as OP said.
