C.S. Lewis, in "The Great Divorce," highlights a cautionary perspective on faith and religious pursuits. He observes that some individuals become so absorbed in proving God's existence that they neglect the essence of a relationship with God. This preoccupation can lead to a focus on intellectual arguments rather than personal faith and connection with the divine.

Lewis further critiques those who prioritize the dissemination of Christianity over engaging with Christ himself. This suggests that mere advocacy of religious beliefs can overshadow the importance of understanding and nurturing one's spiritual relationship. He warns against allowing the act of belief to become disconnected from the core values of faith and personal devotion.
