As a committed pagan, I maintain that if Narnia was meant to encourage Christianity then C.S. Lewis did it wrong. I mean, maybe leaving out the dryads, Naiads, and Bacchus is something he could have considered?

Idk that Narnia was meant to encourage Christianity so much as reflect the values and mythologies of Christianity and provide an interesting/potentially inspirational fictional perspective on the faith.

I think parts of it straight up encourage Christianity like when Aslan tells Lucy (I think) that in her world he has another name and she must learn to know him there. That's fairly strongly saying "Come to Jesus."

I always wondered what the Nine Names of Aslan must have been.

C.S. Lewis was very much a "All Gods are faces of One God, as long as they're Good" type of Christian, and rather more of a hippie than converts usually are these days. He's on record as saying, basically, that the Narnia books were partly his way of exploring what Christianity would be like if there was a world with dryads, naiads, talking animals, etc. and Christ decided to become incarnate on it.
