I used to admire Lewis, but the more I learned, the shallower he became to me. He is a brilliant apologist, but not for the Bible, but rather for "the Church."
Another, more Biblical, way to look at Babylon is as "the mother of abominations":
Rev 17: 4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: 5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. 6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
She is Vatican-rich, and just as wicked, fosters "the man of sin" and murders the naysayers.
The Catholic-Protestant religion of "Trinitarianism" is, to my thinking, denounced in the Bible as the rich whore that emerges from Babylon and presides in Rome, with great military and political power, wondered at all over the world since just after Paul's day...

Like C.S. Lewis, I think mythology mimics or reflects truth.
