Christian fiction - what's in a name?

I don't know that I would enjoy these now though. I certainly have no interest in any novel that is out to change my atheist ways.

The Robe was definitely a good read. I enjoyed it tremendously.

That being said, I read fantasy and some of those do have christian undertones. I don't mind that. I mind overt religious agenda and preachiness in books.

I'm an atheist as well. I don't mind Christian themes. The Narnia books were great. But I don't like the sound of the umbrella term Christian fiction.
