I'd be surprised if you hadn't already read it, but just in case, this audio version of Mere Christianity is my absolute favorite: https://www.audible.com/pd/Mere-Christianity-Audiobook/B00JP...

I also really enjoyed One Year Bible with Bill Creasy. It doesn't get too academic, which may be a downside if that's what you're looking for, but I found him to be very engaging: https://www.audible.com/pd/One-Year-Bible-Audiobook/B00G5OEH...

And, although our theologies diverge quite a bit, I found that the Bible Binge podcast is pretty entertaining. It "translates" Bible stories into modern pop culture references: https://faithadjacent.com/show/theclassics/

Mere Christianity is trash. Couldn't even get through the first chapter because he calls out atheism almost immediately and basically says it's not even worth discussing because it's stupid and not an actual philosophy, which just strikes me as pure intellectual laziness, especially in a book about religion. Avoid, especially if you're an atheist trying to approach religion.

I don't remember it, though I think it's a stretch to say that Lewis of all people was lazy or incurious about atheism.

It's the very beginning of "Book Two" of Mere Christianity. Not only were his direct quotes about atheism just generally terrible, his logical argument about atheism was equally terrible. I'm genuinely surprised he's hailed as this great theologian or philosopher when he can't piece together a simple argument about theism vs. atheism. Like truly, these arguments in Book Two sound like some teenager in a youth group wrote them.
