If there is anything evangelicals love more than a C.S. Lewis quote, it’s a fake C.S. Lewis quote.

With this election, it’s no surprise that a fake Lewis quote began circulating to voice dissatisfaction with the candidates and call Christians to keep politics in perspectives.

Someone created a supposed piece from The Screwtape Letters and it began quickly circulating on social media.

Lewis said lots of important, insightful things about politics, including in The Screwtape Letters. There’s no need to create fake quotes. And there definitely isn’t any reason to share them.
