| I read all three books and now may have to read them again for a better analisys but in the first book it isnt evident what lyras uncle is planning on doing besides trying to get to another dimension, from what I can remember though god has been trapped by lord regent a very powerful angel and he is the one who is killed, not god. From what I can remember it didnt seem like they were trying to kill god or lord regent so everyone could run around as heathens but they did what they did in order to save everyone from an afterlife of slavery there was no longer heaven there was just being along with many other faceless people before them, they were trying to free those people, and save the worlds from coming to an end. They were not trying to kill god they were trying to bring back heaven or at least save themselves from slavery.
So please do not try to turn this into an issue of omg wickens and anti god, it is a very good book and in the end its just art, it is open to interpretation. If you dont want your kids to watch it fine but I am sure you also want to ban harry potter and any other "anti christian" books, you are simply over anilising it and not taking it for what it is you are just looking for a fight that has no resolution, except for burning books and making everyone believe what you want them to. Adolf Hitler did that so maybe it would work for you, keep trying...
