The literal meaning:
Here we have all sorts; defenders of young earth lunacy,we've had Catholic apologists, Muslim apologists, gun owner apologists,all kinds of political apologists,and of course militant atheist apologists who are convinced all believers are stupid,ignorant or insane.
In popular culture,an 'apologist' seems to have become a person who defends the indefensible. EG defending the Catholic church over the institutionalised corruption which has come to light over the endemic child abuse and consequent evasion of civil law.
