Wow, this sucks.:frown:
My advice would be to talk to this friend alone, and ask him if he is sure this is what HE wants, and make clear the possible problems that could arise if he goes through with it while not fully behind the decision.
Make sure you let him know you are worried about him and care about what happens him as a friend.
With something like religious indoctrination, the only way to bring them to their senses is to place seeds of doubt in their minds with out making them feel like you're attacking their religion.
As most religious people are quite defensive of their faith and wont bother with even a calm polite questioning of their beliefs.
Ok, i hope this helps.
I'm no expert, and i would take my advise with a large pinch of salt but this IS how i would try and sort out the situation you describe.
I understand why you are worried.
Some religions do encourage gay men into straight marriages as a way to try and "fix" them.(Or at least make them less likely to have sex with men out of guilt.):frown:
