...and I'm a Pagan. If you read the entire series, you'll see that the books don't entirely fly with the 'evangelical' belief system.

At the end of The Last Battle (SPOILER ALERT) when everyone has gone into the stable, the hero's meet an enemy soldier and a worshipper of the god Tash. The soldier is looking for Tash in this paradise everyone has found themselves in. When asked why the enemy was there, Aslan says that even though he worshipped Tash, because the soldier was good and just, he was in truth worshipping Aslan. Had he been evil, his deeds would have served Tash even if he was using the name Aslan in his prayers.

Very ecumenical of Lewis and something that most fundies would have serious problems with given their "Jesus is the one true path; the way and the light; blah blah blah" bullsh*t.
