==Legacy== C.S Lewis' works have found use in various fields, from the fantasy genre to works outside fiction such as Christian apologetics. The Chronicles of Narnia have seen numerous adaptations and served as inspiration for numerous other world fantasy stories. His non-fictional works have also gained notoriety, such as his book "Mere Christianity" which explores Christian worldview from a philosophical perspective, but puts it in layman terms. Some of his arguments have been cited by theologians and Christian apologists of various stripes. One of these arguments, his description of a logical fallacy he called "[[wikipedia:Bulverism |Bulverism]]", is also widely cited with approval by many Atheists. Some of his fictional works have even led to some "follow the leader" style copycats, such as a duology books by author Randy Alcorn intended as an "updated" version of The Screwtape Letters, these revolving around the not-Screwtape demon Foulgrin and his subordinate - instead of nephew - Squaltaint. Intended as a guide against modern evils, it is less sophisticated than Lewis' work and tarred undeserving or contentious targets with the same brush... like [[Dungeons & Dragons]] (Foulgrin claims Dungeons and Dragons is a gateway to practicing actual black magic). On the flip side not everyone appreciates overt religious preaching. Phillip Pullmano wrote ''His Dark Materials'' as an atheist response to CS Lewis. Which ended up as ''anti''-religious preaching.
