Can u imagine if christians argued their views like woke ppl do? "You need jesus to save you from your sins" "Oh sorry, I'm an atheist." "I'm tired. Christians are exhausted. It's not my job to educate you - read the Bible. You need to learn to lean into your discomfort."

Is this a fair analogy? While I accept that the Bible is really important to many people, are the stories it presents as grounded in fact as e.g. people's experiences of systemic racism?

That's not a defense though. People are allowed to believe anything they want. OTHER people aren't obligated to give them equal space though. If you believe, for example, that water is bad for you, no one is obligated to respect that. You're free to think it, still.
