I think there are two slightly different situations at work here. Lewis did grow up in a very Christian environment, and as such possessed the “antibodies” described in the linked post.
His being a convert from atheism—by means of some kind of emotional breakdown—didn’t, thus, make him into an advocate of following every passage of the Bible and every idea ever presented by the Magisterium; rather, it made him a zealous defender of every excuse for why you don’t need to do so in order to be a good Christian.
That’s fair—I didn’t mean to say that it was the exact same case, simply that similar topics had been discussed before. That wasn’t clear from the original comment so I’ll change it to make it a little more so.
Similar ideas discussed here.
