You might want to stick to the thread instead of trying to convert people.
Perhaps then he could have become a leader to all the right thinking people in the world. He could have shown the world that he had the courage to believe in himself, and not have to believe in a "god" who murdered his wife in such a horrible way to justify his existence.
Now we just need to gather the people with the courage to stand with a man of vision, grace and strength, and smite down the believers while they futilely turn to their "gods" who won't lift a finger to help them.
Come on chaps, stand up and be counted for believing in yourselves, not for crawling on your knees to fairy tail gods.
Aeems here death was in 1960, well after most of his work. I know the Ransom trilogy was written in the '40s, Narnia in the '50s, I think The Screwtape Letters (the other I have read) was during the war years. So I think there is very little change.
Mako, as a Christain who converted to Islam, I'd like to say a few things:Perhaps then he could have become a leader to all the right thinking people in the world.

he would not publish a grief observed or the four loves
he other works will not have credibility and therefore will not be popular.
he will find himself unemployed because he is a fulltime author for a christian publisher.

Source, please, or this is pointless.
Ignore him Puget. He claims he wants violence against the religious and I can tell that if he faced Lynzian or any of our religious members, bricks would be shat.God didn't murder Lewis' wife...
A close friend of CS Lewis was his fellow Inkling Owen Barfield who was an Anthroposophist. Barfield frequently discussed Anthroposophy with Lewis. Initially Lewis was deeply opposed to Anthroposophy and even started to write a treatise called something like Summa Contra Anthroposophia. In his later years Clive became much less hostile towards Anthroposophy and would say things like on the whole it was a more positive than negative influence in society. A few fundamentalist critics of CS Lewis claim there is some anthroposophical ideas inside his work.
So perhaps the spiritual crisis after Joy's death causes him to embrace Anthroposophy though probably with reservations about some of its stranger ideas. This would be somewhat ironic as Joy hated Anthroposophy and would burn the pamphlets Barfield left with CS.
