I was just on Snopes.com reading the latest additions.
To my surprise, I didn't know the upcoming movie, 'The Golden Compass' which is based on the first part of a trilogy is in fact, very anti-religious. You see, these novels are marketed to the children. What a lot of parents aren't aware of is that these novels are dangerous to the children's faith in God.
If the Christians thought Harry Potter was bad, wait till you see the contents featured in these novels. I believe it's called 'His Dark Materials'. In the last part of the trilogy, two characters representing Adam and Eve kills Yahweh. They also feature castration and female circumcision. This is a children's book we're talking about.

I bet there's going to be a lot of upset parents coming out of the theatres this winter. I wouldn't be surprised if they dumbed down the movie to cover up the anti-religious contents. The TV commercials and previews aren't showing anything that would indicate that it is anti-religious.
This is probably another case where the executive didn't read the novels prior to buying the rights to adapt the novels.
Always read them before doing so.
If you are a strong Christian, Jewish or Muslim who cares about your children's faith. I would advise that you read the novels first or watch the movies to determine if it's suitable for the children or not. Or just don't watch it at all.
I haven't read the books just yet, but just wanted to give the parents the head-up. Now that I read about these novels, I might take a look at them to see if it's as bad as they say.
