You are either being very politically correct or else you know nothing about C.S Lewis. Go and read some of his other works, his letters, and any halfway decent biography and then get back to me.
Heck, even browse the wiki page on the man.
Since you seem to know essentially nothing about Lewis:
After a period of atheism as a younger man, he converted as an adult. He became a famous Christian apologist through works of non fiction like 'Mere Christianity.' His works of fiction are chock full of Christian elements, sometimes subtle and sometimes quite overt.
He was a good friend of Tolkien’s, by the way.
