The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

>Still less does he suspect how much he takes delight in these people is due to his erotic enchantment with the girl, which spreads to her surrounding

>he thinks he likes their way of life because if some congruity between their spiritual state and his

This is paraphrased, I an on my phone, but is this saying he is subconsciously doing it all for sex?

I don't think so completely, these devils are more conspiring to make him proud and unthinking. He likes the people because of the girl, the sex entices him to like what she likes but of course now the devils are seeking to make him believe that the people she knows are no different than he is.

What they really want him to agree to, is not that he's doing anything for sex, but that he doesn't have to do anything for Christ. Really CS Lewis is saying that the devils are trying hard to make a nominal Christian; if they can make him proud of himself, and say such things as that he's always been a Christian because he's a "good person," or that other people who've worked hard to refine themselves spiritually are "like him." These devils reason that this is the easiest way to make the central character the ultimate sloth in doing God's will. He will be an outward Christian, and an inward zero, and will hopefully never know the difference.
