This is because the main enemy we have been fighting is Popery, rather than Secular Humanism - which seems to have been what American Evangelicals have had to mostly battle against in recent years.

Brother, I appreciate your humility. I do not believe you owe anyone an apology for stating your convictions, even if you were passionate and tenacious. We all owe an apology to one another if this is the case, because many of us can come across very strong. Thank you, though for your concern for your brothers and sisters. I am speaking for myself when I say I did not get the sense that you were being judgemental.
