You are assuming without proof that the claims of Lewis's religion are arbitrary. Of course they are not arbitrary, even assuming that his religion is false.

We're on LW. I'm assuming something that just about everyone here assumes anyway. Or at least close to it.

(I'm sure some people would argue that Lewis's religion's claims aren't arbitrary because competition between memes ensures that religions which say extreme things about sins won't last until the modern era. If so, fine, it's not arbitrary in that sense.)

Most people on LW would assume that his religion is wrong, but not that it is entirely arbitrary.
