You know, I was completely with you until a certain comment.
As an atheist, it goes without saying that I consider the whole of the Bible, apocryphal and canon, to be "a bedtime story" (along with the Koran, Book of Mormon, Bhagavad Ghita, and any other religious text featuring god(s) and the supernatural).
Are you implying I should not be allowed to express that opinion now?
Why is it somehow offensive to have a character say a religion isn't true, but not offensive to have someone say it is true? They are both equally valid points of view.
It just goes to show the religious privilege and bias endemic to society when it's not considered acceptable to even express your beliefs if they contradict popular religions.
