Funny how so many people don't understand this.

For Lewis,

Wonder/Adventure of Narnia:Wonder of Knowing and Loving God::lipstick
and boys:dull grey mundane world of ignoring God

Lewis (following Chesterton) sees the Christian worldview as an
exciting Romance (in the old sense), like reading Narnia.  He sees the
atheistic worldview as dull, like reading a modern romance (in the new
sense) novel.
