No, allow civil unions but don’t call it marriage

While there is no direct evidence of Dewey's stance on civil unions, it's plausible that he might have been more open to this compromise position than outright legalization of same-sex marriage, given the conservative values of his era.

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

Disagree

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

While Dewey might have agreed with the idea of allowing churches to refuse same-sex ceremonies, the premise of this answer still involves legalizing same-sex marriage, which he would likely have opposed given the social norms of his time.
