4. I think the Bible clearly says that failing to wear a mask is disobedience and sin

Both Paul and Peter write about obedience to the civil government being equated with obedience to God. Paul talks about putting the interests of others ahead of your own, and mask wearing would certainly fit with that principle. Wearing a mask is a good work, and Jesus himself says to let your light so shine before men that they may see your "good works" and glorify your Father in heaven.

And then there's this in Proverbs 15,
The tongue of the wise commends knowledge, but the mouths of fools pour out folly.
