Strange. Everything *I* have seen from C.S. Lewis has been nothing but judeo-christian allegory. It's extremely difficult to "start out as an athiest" in this society, so ubiquitously saturated with god detrius. Far more likely he was a closet christian all the time, and decided to 'come out'. And make money at the same time.

Edit: from wikipedia:

Clive Staples Lewis (November 29, 1898 ? November 22, 1963), commonly referred to as C. S. Lewis, was an Irish born author and scholar, born in Belfast into a staunchly Protestant family, but mostly resident in England. Lewis is known for his work on medieval literature and for his Christian apologetics and fiction, especially the children's series entitled The Chronicles of Narnia.

Yeah, I'm sure a lot of staunch irish protestants are 'athiests'.
