God permits moral evil because Adam and Eve chose to eat the forbidden fruit. Also without bad, there would be no good and without suffering and pain, there would be no love.

Was C.S. Lewis always religious?
Well.............it depends on how you define religious. He was always deeply moral, but for the first 32 years of his life he was an atheist. He did not see how a Good and all-powerful God could permit evil and suffering in this world. However, when he was 33 he was first converted to a belief in theism (a belief in God) and then to Christianity.
What is natural and moral evil is?
Natural evil is disasters, obstacles, and death by natural causes, whereas moral evil is when evil arises from an intelligent, conscious being such as by humans. Hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, incurable diseases are examples of natural evils. Moral evil is acting, or failing to act in a way that does not support good. If a bullet kills a person it is still the human who pulled the trigger who is to blame, and is therefore a moral evil. Some believe that natural evil is proof against the existence of a higher power such as God. Others believe that natural evil is just a higher power's way of keeping the world in balance through a cycle of life and death.
What are some religious explanations for the existence of evil in the world and What are some non-religious explanations?
According to traditional Christian belief:God is perfectly good;God's power is unlimited (he is omnopotent);God is all-knowing (omniscient);God is the sole creator of everything that exists;There is evil in the world.The problem of evil is that if the universe as we know it is the creation of a God who is all-knowing, all-powerful and all-good, then it is surprising that there is evil in the world. David Hume put the theist's dilemma as, "Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is impotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Whence then is evil."Theologians are unwilling to accept that the problem of evil is evidence that God does not exist, and have struggled with theodocies that seek to resolve the problem in favour of religion. An important religious explanation for the existence of evil is the existence of free will. God allwed us to choose to do good or do evil, and evil is the misuse by us of that God-given power. Not everything we regard as an evil is the result of human wrongdoing, and Norman L. Geisler (Christian Ethics: Options and Issues), speaking as a Christian against euthanasia, says that far from being an evil to avoid at all cost, suffering can be a time of refining and character building.Philosophers tend to make the distinction between natural evil and moral evil. The religious explanation for natural evil is that God did it, perhaps as punishment for wrongdoing, but the non-religious explanation is simply the working of natural laws. Moral evil does not have a general non-religious explanation, other than the moral failings of some people.
