I've read plenty of books with protagonists whose views and values clearly don't align with mine. I have no problem with this, as long as it's not used to air the author's own views at length.
But how would you know if the author's views are being aired or not?

Usually you can tell. That's what I meant by "at length" - it's not just a phrase here and a sentence there. It's deliberate preaching.
