In response to NopoliBeen people think this movie is anti-religious because it deals with things that the christian bible doesn't believe in like others worlds, evolution, witch craft, ect.  Another huge reason is that the author of the book, Phillip Pullman, has been quoted as saying "if there really is a God out there than someone needs to kill him." What kills me is that so many people are protesting this 

movie because they believe that it is going to brain wash 

their children against what ever religion that they are brain 

washing their children.  People send their children to church 

every Sunday morning and they don't understand what's 

going on or the parents don't explain the other beliefs that 

are out there. They just push whatever they believe onto 

the child.  If there is a anti-religious theme in this movie, do

people really think that a 6, 7, or even a 10 year old is going

to get that from the movie?  I think not.  My 7 year old will

just think its a cool movie about a little girl and talking

animals, I don't think she will be converted into an atheist or 

give up on what she "thinks" she believes in at this age.
