Good article Dan. I am strongly opposed to Christian Nationalism and the goals it has to force their view of Christianity on everyone. This is unconstitutional and is an anti-Christ teaching. I also do not believe the USA is nor ever was a Christian nation. It is a nation where we are all free to choose what to believe, be it Christian, Hindu, Muslim, Jew, Atheist etc. We all can choose what we want to believe, yet we have no right to force our views on anyone else.
I find it very odd that the governor's office did not send out a press release announcing this proclamation, which they do for almost all of her other proclamations.
After reading this post, I asked the governor's press secretary when this Bible reading proclamation was signed. He said January 8, 2024.
Great contribution.

Thanks Laura, I wasn’t aware that the Governor hadn’t posted a press release. How curious…I’d like to find out why. (I could speculate)
