Leave the lion alone

The hollow criticism of the Narnia books' biblical subtext smacks of mindless offence-seeking

So begins an article which might be put in the category of 'secularist calls for fair do's'. A few nice points and I especially liked the last bit...
"Anyone holding to this "dodgy" orthodoxy, especially those who don't explain why, is treating Christianity as inherently underhand. This is unfair to all Christians, not just hardliners. And it is not the time of year to be unfair to Christians. We've pinched their festival. We can hardly talk about "underhand"."
