This book is actually part of a trilogy that evolves from more or less a children's book into a more blatant advertisement of atheist views. In interviews Pullman, the author, said that he wrote this trilogy as a strike at the idea of Christianity. The characters in the third book actually end up waging a war in heaven, with Pullman portraying them killing God. New Line Cinema said they tried to remove any anti-religious themes. But if this movie takes off you know they will try to finish the trilogy where they will have to make a decision to stick to the story line or piss off a lot of people off.
