What is the motive behind "The Golden Compass"

[Chapdog]

was reading about this movie determining if its appropriate to bring my son to and I noticed this author has some seemingly political goals of promoting atheism. I didn't know the goal of the children in this trilogy was to kill god.

I'd be surprised if much of the "anti-religion" element has been allowed to creep into the film version.

Are you still going to see it or have you been put off?

well considering his favorite movie is narnia and he was a king of narnia for Halloween I will likely still bring him to it.
