Whilst the motivation for this may have been to Christianize other societies there is no doubt that they also helped to civilise societies and civilisation is the goal of all societies. No human being wants to have to remain in a situation where every day is a struggle for existence. Romanticising primitive societies ignores the fundamental striving for peace and safety that is part of every human being. White Christians brought not only their religion but their better methods for refining life so that science and practical skills could make life less stressful and ultimately more enjoyable. They should never apologise for this. This is a gift well worth having for any society.
Christianity may not be such a gift worth having but civilisation certainly is and such a gift could not be divorced from the people who gave it. Now it can be. Not every society on the planet is equally civilised and some have a long way to go - especially those steeped in Islamic fundamentalism.
We should never stop striving for world-wide civilisation simply because it is better than anything else we know about. Apologising for that now or for having done so in the past is to devalue the best of humanity. It is not our burden but our gift.
