Lewis gets pulled under the “Christian” umbrella far too often. I mean yes he was a Christian but wasn’t a far-right nincompoop either.
Both he and JR Tolkien were contemporaries who shared a faith. The main difference between the two was Tolkien specifically didn’t write allegorically while Lewis did.

Incidentally, Lewis’s book Mere Christianity is what started my journey out of Christianity.
That’s what I love about his writings. He simply let people decide for themselves, which is how it should be.
Can you explain that last sentence? Maybe I don’t know what allegory really is.
