Not even a single reference about Jesus Christ or God is made in all the six heavy books of Harry Potter. Doesn't this prove Jesus and God do not exist?

Because it's not what the story is about. There's a lot of books that don't mention God or Jesus. "Green Eggs and Ham" doesn't talk about Jesus, either.

If you had actually read the books instead of just nit-picking it, you might discover that Harry and his friends actually do mention Christ in each and every book... Maybe you got confused by the fact that Christ is an integral part of Christmas. Christmas being the biggest and most important holiday at Hogwarts.
Christ taught love and tolerance... 2 things that JK Rowling seems to understand a lot better that you for asking such an obviously loaded question... get over it or write your own book called "Harry Potter and the search for God".. or get off the pulpit.

actually despite what the lot of self-righteous christians think (i am christain myself but LOVE hp...anyway...) HP is very christian.
it has the same lessons as the bible. friendship morals values love.
good vs evil..just like the bible.
not always a happy ending...much like some bible stories.
& finally, you're wrong about the "god" bit...or do you not know of sirius yet? "GOD-father"
simply put, little harry has a godfather AND he celebrates xmas. & xmas my friend is globally accepted as JESUS CHRIST'S b'day (wether it really is or not is beside the point.) so you're indirectly wrong about that one to...
thats christian enough for me...
(& for some reason...ive always figured remus to be a lutheren. not church-going though cuz he's a werwolf & dark creatures cant touch holy ground on earth. must wait to be healed...)

Not necessarily. God and Christ aren't mentioned in "The Chronicles of Narnia," yet the book series is seen as a Christian allegory.

Um...don't t hink JK Rowling was trying to rewrite the bible. Proof??? Anyway, I'd bet a million pounds that JK Rowling purposely kept religion out of her book so as not to ignite fundamentalist backlash. Turns out that happened anyway, but...

Because she doesn't want anyone to feel the have to be the religion in the book! And it wouldn't be a good book if it just shoved religion down your throat!

It's Jo's world, if she doesn't want religion to be a part of it, that's great for her. Religion isn't essential to the plot and it's not what she's writing about; therefore, it's not in her books.

They don't mention a LOT of things in Harry Potter, like...um...Tom Hanks, foot fungus (at least I don't think they do), Amazon.com, Yahoo, Guam...doesn't mean they don't exist.

No, the book is about a fantasy world or witches and wizards who are good and evil. It carries a message of good and evil and choices.
Silly question.
