*Spoilers*
I'm about to discuss major plot details in this post from the books.

I'm devoted to The Dark Material's series, and I grew up in a Protestant and Catholic family so religion is somewhat a part of my life.
They do not actually kill god, they kill a power hungry angel, the Metatron who seeks to supplant God. Yes, they are written by a confirmed athiest but members of the church have supported this series in the past, also the major religious elements have been taken out of the film to make it more family friendly so I really don't think the movie is that offensive.
The books aren't written like R.L Stine, they are written by an Oxford educated man and I like to think any child who reads these books and completely comprehends the religious meaning behind them is also completely capable of thinking for themselves and won't let something as simple as a book series turn them into an atheist.
Sorry for the mini rant, I'm just getting rather frustrated by the idea that people are so mindless that one book or movie is automatically going to change their religious views.
