Best Answer

CS Lewis was brought up by Ulster Protestants who took him to rather dull Church services as a child. This gave him a distaste for Christianity and when he was fifteen he became an atheist. As you probably know, he became a Catholic - and a Christian apologist later in life.

He didn't - where did you get this idea? He wrote: "...But if I can't trust my own thinking, of course I can't trust the arguments leading to Atheism, and therefore have no reason to be an Atheist, or anything else. Unless I believe in God, I cannot believe in thought: so I can never use thought to disbelieve in God."

Can an atheist become a Christian?

Yes, anyone can become a Christian if they accept Jesus Christ into their heart as their Lord and Savior.If the question is asking whether an atheist can turn from atheism and embrace Christianity, the answer is a resounding "Yes!" A classic example of this was CS Lewis (The Chronicles of Narnia) who turned from being an avowed atheist into a prolific Christian writer with a profound understanding of theology. CS Lewis was an intellectual giant, and he had many heated debates with his good friend JRR Tolkien (Lord of the Rings),who was a Christian. Finally, Lewis could not dispute the evidence any further, and accepted the truth of Christianity.
