The main thing for me to remember:

Narnia was written by a Christian theologian in the early 20th century.

Expecting it to show modern sympathies is rather like expecting a book from a 1700s Mississipian to portray blacks as intelligent or human ... an unreasonable expectation.

So long as they are portrayed as what they are - Christian allegories - I see nothing wrong with them. Everyone I know is well aware of the religious side of things, even children.
