   While not denying the cultural aspect of the practice of Christianity in   
   many parts of the world within many socio-economic systems, to accuse CSL of   
   somehow not having taken Christianity seriously is ridiculous.  These modern   
   mind readers/quasi news makers always amaze me!  Lewis' work for the radio   
   and other works was vetted by a variety of mainline Christian leaders, for   
   one.  And for another, read what he writes about Communism/Marxism (if the   
   two equate at all) in for instance _Christian Reflections_.  The writer is   
   stretching a 'theory' out of any recognizable or useful shape.
