I had a bad experience with Macdonald and won't be reading any more, so I couldn't say.
Really? Now I'm all curious, because Macdonald is one of my favorite fantasy writers (actually, I've used his Phantastes to convert people to this genre), and I don't find him too religious at all. In his realistic novels, sure (he *was* a preacher for his day job), but not in his fantasy, which I find for the most part deeply creative.
I'd be interested in knowing which of his books turned you off.
