I don’t think being an ohr lagoyim means we have to prove anything to them, or go out of our way to change most of their opinions, such as these. So I think what you did was right. I think the idea of being an ohr lagoyim is not something we really actively pursue, it is more that if we study the Torah and do the right thing, we will naturally be an ohr lagoyim. That’s what it sounds like from the pesukim too (read Devarim 4:5 and onward, you’ll see what I mean).
