So sorry to hear about this :( Maybe your friend will come around after thinking it over for a while, especially since you explained that it was unintentional. I know it stinks that Christians are looked down on so often, and it can be really hard to face insults like that. Persecution is a part of following Christ, so the best we can do is try to find joy in that we are suffering for the Kingdom, and the very fact that being persecuted shows that you are being faithful (2 Tim 3:12 - "In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted..."). Losing a friend is a really tough thing though, and I hope he'll come to accept your apology.
