It's 2025. You are REALLY going to argue attitudes on religion haven't significantly changed in the last 30 years? Really? That's what you're going to do?
Don't know attitude on religion has changed to the degree C.S. Lewis's legacy
of rendering Christian shithood more palpable has become irrelevant.
In my college years Lewis's writing was evangelicals' favored tool to
proselytize skeptics. And as recent as 2009 C.S. Lewis the evangelist
was celebrated in the 50th anniversay of Christianity Today. Attitudes
on the Christian religion have never been static. But I wonder if Lewis
would roll over in grave were his thoughts no longer relevant to evangelists today.

C.S. Lewis was a man of firm evangelistic convictions. For Lewis the salvation of human souls was “the real business of life.”

Yah, but if you have ever viewed holgrams you will note that what you see changes depending on the angle of the eye and the angle illumination source.
And a holigram can be made to hold a lot of layers.
The nearest movie quote that come to me like this is from Men in Black.
Where the universe was in the marble thing hanging from the cats neck as Orien's Bell.
Then that scene closes and you see aliens playing marbles, and each marble holds a universe. Fade to black. Movie ends.
Sorry for the crazy badly mixed metafors.
Just the way my brain is bouncing.
It is telling me I should get some sleep soon when these weird thoughts start running together.
And the am alarm clock is set to 5:30 for work tomorrow.
