“We are a religious state and we are going to fight it to keep that filth out of the state of Oklahoma because we are a Christian state — we are a moral state. We want to lower taxes and let people be able to live and work and go to the faith they choose. …
Oh man has he never read his own state’s Constitution?
“no inhabitant of the State shall ever be molested in person or property on account of his or her mode of religious worship; and no religious test shall be required for the exercise of civil or political rights.” source
Also the word “Christ” or “Christian” never shows up in the state Oklahoma Constitution, so I’m not sure where he’s getting his “Christian state” idea from except possibly out of his own ass.
It goes even further to exclude state money from going to religious purposes:
“No public money or property shall ever be appropriated, applied, donated, or used, directly or indirectly, for the use, benefit, or support of any sect, church, denomination, or system of religion, or for the use, benefit, or support of any priest, preacher, minister, or other religious teacher or dignitary, or sectarian institution as such.” source

Bold of you to assume he can read. He probably “reads” his state’s constitution the same way he “reads” the bible.
That is to say, like all charlatans, selectively.
You could have stopped there. The answer is no.
You should be up top
