I’m not quite sure I’m following your logic here:
Bris Milah is not objectively questionable…and those that question it are idiots.
When we say something is objectively questionable or not, we mean that from a non-biased point of view doing something may be wrong or right. The problem here is that we (you and me) are biased to say that it is unquestionable because it is our halacha. Those that argue against it say that we are mutilating a child’s body there is risk of complication and we are hurting the child.
To these people we are clearly making a chilul Hashem with every bris just like the prevailing belief in New Zealand is that shechita is inhumane and b extension a chilul Hashem.
According to your logic we should stop eating meat so that we don’t make a chilul Hashem for them either.
This is not true though. So you have to say that the application of “Chilul Hashem” does not apply to anything and everything that the goyim reject.

I didn’t say you need proof. I just said that the proof you offered was not a good one. Also your explanation is not a sevara as it is not based on logic but rather your personal negative feelings to taking money from the government.
