* HardToAdaptWork: Despite many adaptations that have been made over the years, in [[WordOfGod C. S. Lewis's own opinion]], the book was inherently unstageable and unfilmable, and he turned down several requests for permission to adapt it. It's not hard to see his point, considering the book is an EpistolaryNovel from the point of view of an UnreliableNarrator, and any plot arc is mostly incidental to Screwtape's essays on moral philosophy. One author pitched Lewis a script that used a FramingDevice; Lewis's advice was that the framing story would work so much better on stage that the author should just go ahead and make it into its own play, leaving Screwtape out of it!

Genocide is not the focus, the focus is on atheism supplanting and attacking religion, which are indeed two things the New Atheist movement did. It became quite infamous for its non-violent and indeed violent hostility towards those who held religious beliefs, especially Christianity.
