Wow, so much to unpack here.
> Could a religious liberty case be made?
No.
> I mean, I am not religious, but I’d be surprised if the Christian god would be OK killing a person over a technicality.
Does the defendant have to believe in Christian God? Does he have to state this belief publicly? Does the state recognize only this god or all gods? What is the standard?
> Oklahoma is a pretty religious place, right?
I don't see how this is relevant. The only issue here is the law of the state of Oklahoma. The separation of church and state is not something we can selectively ignore.
> I imagine the execution could be hard to perform if enough people didn’t comply.
Well, only one person has to not comply. That person is the governor, who is tasked with enforcing the law.
> At least it could be enough of a delay to stall a bit and hopefully work things out…
"Hopefully" "work out" how? You mean like the second coming of Christ and he becomes governor and pardons this guy?
