For decades, activists on the left have weaponized the phrase “separation of church and state” to scrub every trace of religious expression from the public square. Prayer banned in schools, Ten Commandments monuments torn down, coaches fired for kneeling in silent prayer, bakers and florists coerced into celebrating ceremonies that violate their faith: all justified, we are told, by an ironclad “wall of separation” between church and state. The only problem? That is not what the Founders meant, not even close.

In March of 1775, as the colonies stood on the brink of war, Patrick Henry rose in the Virginia Convention and thundered words that still shake the American soul: “An appeal to arms and to the God of hosts is all that is left us! … We shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations.” We remember the closing line— “Give me liberty or give me death”—but it was this appeal to the God of hosts that gave the struggle its moral center. The founders believed their cause could not be sustained on human courage alone. When earthly appeals were exhausted, they appealed to Heaven.

For thirty years we were told the debate was over. The science was settled. Humanity had roughly a decade—always a decade—to slash emissions or face biblical floods, mass starvation, and the end of civilization as we know it. Children were taught to have panic attacks. Teenagers were told not to have children. Politicians demanded trillions in new taxes, global governance mechanisms, and the deliberate de-industrialization of the West. Then, almost overnight, the tone changed.

This week, Bitcoin dropped to $89,420—a level we haven't seen since February. We're down more than 30% from October's peak of $126,000, and every gain Bitcoin made in 2025 has been erased. The Fear & Greed Index sits at 15, deep in extreme fear territory.  But here's what most people are missing: this isn't 2018. This isn't 2022. We've never had a correction like this with a pro-crypto president in the White House. And that changes everything about what happens next.
