You objected to the OK governor claiming the state belongs to God.
So that's one.
Got a second, third, and fourth?
Oh that, yeah he absolutely violated the establishment clause. Here is the full statement:
STITT: “Father, we just claim Oklahoma for you. Every square inch, we claim it for you in the name of Jesus. Father, we can do nothing apart from you. We [wind noise] battle against flesh and blood, against principalities of darkness. Father, we just come against that, we just loose your will over our state right now in the name of Jesus. … We just thank you, we claim Oklahoma for you, as the authority that I have as governor, and the spiritual authority and the physical authority that you give me. I claim Oklahoma for you, that we will be a light to our country and to the world right here on stage. We thank you that your will is done on Tuesday and, Father, that you will have your way with our state, with our education system, with everything within the walls behind me and the rooms behind me, Lord, that you will root out corruption, you will bring the right people into this building, Father, from now on.”
See that bullshit right there where he claims to be ordained by God to be a spiritual authority and is asserting said authority as Governor? Yeah DEFINITELY a violation.
Other than that there is a litany of SCOTUS cases chock full of violations. Happy hunting.
