    I never read the bible and the little I retained from the Narnia Chronicles resumes to talking creatures battling over the common trope of good vs evil.

    I’m an atheist and I was able to take some entertainment from those works without feeling dragged into a christian analogy.

      Hence why I made sure to point out that it’s much better written than the source material it’s based on.

      Just because Aslan is basically Jesus as a lion doesn’t mean that atheists like you and myself can’t enjoy it 🤷

        Okay, that point is clear but, again, to what degree the author of the Harry Potter series being an atheist prevents her from enjoying the Narnia Chronicles as just a fantasy series?

        We’re both atheists and we managed. Although you were able to read more between the lines; for me, the talking lion was just that.

          Unless FlyingSquid is married to JK Rowling, nobody said whether or not the author of HP is an atheist 🤷

          In fact, a quick search reveals that the transphobic ass is a Christian herself.
