YOU introduced other feeling their religions was trounced. But then the Governor (a Government entity) prayed to one God, without representing the other Gods of his constituents. |
Not everyone's beliefs need to be equally recognized by the government. Indeed, it's best if none of them are. And, while he's the head of a state's executive branch, he's not a government entity. He's a citizen, who was not establishing a religion. Not all of the constituents need to have their god "equally recognized".

Now since i answered your question, can you answer two i've asked many times :- If the errors are due to translation, and there are errors (Jesus and the Mustard seed are a great one, that is ignored by faithers), how can you trust the trustworthiness of the Book if the translation isnt trustworthy?
- If my misintepretation of the bible is due to laguange barriers, then why didn't people who spoke and read the languages it was written in, immediately believe in it?

I'll leave Toxick's answer to the first question, but for the second, I believe this can be discussed through free will. You have the God given right not to believe in God. He provides tools, not magical belief.
