I do feel that way about a lot of books, but I admit it's much more difficult to do with contemporary work. I generally don't like "preaching" in stories anyway, no matter how subtle, especially if it boils down to some political issue. But classics get away with it by being old, idk.

I know that as long as a work is well-written and compelling, I can enjoy it. I'm not Christian but I can enjoy the Chronicles of Narnia despite how blatant the Christian elements are. Or even Lord of the Rings which has a rather moral absolutist world.

But I do agree that it's easier to overlook in older works due to values dissonance.

With contemporary works, you feel the need to argue with the author when they're wrong.

With older works, you don't give a shit as much, because the author's already dead, so fuck it.

That, and the issue itself is possibly dead. Or rather, the exact circumstances in which the author was making a point no longer exist, the world evolves.
