Lewis sisn't set out to write an allegory, but he certainly meant to include the Christian symbolism. As he said himself, (paraphrasing here) the Narnia books were written as a what if -- What if there was a world like Narnia, with talking animals, etc., and God decided to send a Savior there (as He did with Christ here) -- what would it be like? Lewis said that he wrote the series to describe what that world would be like.

Lewis did not set out to write an allegory -- but he firmly believed that the writer's worldview would always show through in his work. Lewis' worldview was decidedly Christian, and it shows through.

If you want to read a more allegorical Lewis story, read Pilgrim's Regress. The Space Trilogy is also more tied to Christianity than the Narnia books -- but Narnia is definitely a book with a CHristian theme and Christian world-view. Sorry to disappoint.
