Weinstein is a horrible person. What is worse though, is how many people in the US Air Force fold to his demands when he makes them, to include commanders and lawyers who are supposed to ‘support and defend the constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic.’
Weinstein is a domestic enemy of the US Constitution.

Yes and no... the problem here is that the Constitution was drafted within a certain worldview, i.e. a Christian or near-Christian one. The Constitution didn’t overtly prescribe a certain flavor of Christianity to be its interpretive framework, however. This is how rights became silly putty.
And the real answer here is the answer from the evangelist and the praying and sometimes witnessing church layman. It’s not a political answer, because that would be to attempt to put the cart before the horse.
To get a revival in turn, the souls who will accept it need to be present, and the message needs to be offered. Now this is where a praying remnant could perform an act that would transcend space and time — essentially to beseech God at the foundation of the world to seed in believers into this age that we see — to cause the faces that we see to have (have had, if you will) souls that will believe. But this has to be done with full reverence and fear. People sometimes talk like a revival would be a carnival, a weekend picnic. It wouldn’t. Satan and his hordes will dive furiously at it to oppose it, and at anybody who would advocate for it. He has already done so at me, and I’m a voice in the wilderness now.
And at the same time, Christians really don’t need a “mother may I” to the government to talk about gospel anyhow. It’s NICE, but never NECESSARY. A general freedom of spiritual speech is salutary here, because Christ can stand up for Himself in the marketplace of ideas. Let Weinstein and his followers talk up all the atheism they want — but let everybody of every faith answer too. It will soon become clear that even the atheists usually have little problem with deities other than Christ. Those deities do not bid to intrude upon their laboratories. Christ does.
