These are fair and valid points and I wish I had used more consideration in my attempt to convey the rhetorical usage. The proselytization component is probably a more significant reason behind the word choice than any other aspect of catechesis. I meant no offense to anyone of any faith.
Honestly, no offence felt from my end. You did a great job of explaining what that phrase implied in the author's usage. I just wanted to jump on the opportunity to correct a common misconception and share my enthusiasm for another avenue of geeking-out that I happen to enjoy. At the same time hoping I didn't offend any atheists, people of other faiths or different flavours of non-catholic christians...
