Pullman represents the new face of atheism: it is aggressive, dogmatic and unrelenting. It is also fueled by hate—by a crusading hatred of all religions, but most especially of ours. His side is counting on our side to lie down and die. He may have experienced little resistance in England, but it’s a different story here.

It seems to me that the hatred is in this statement. I am not familar with the stories that the Golden Compass is taken from, but I have heard all the hooplah. I see this as a similar statement that the woman minister in Jesus Camp making about how Harry Potter would have been executed in the days of the Old Testament. The crowd cheered. Scary.

Good example of hyperbole used to fuel a persecution complex.

Sounds like the film is going to get an awful lot of free publicity and make a fortune

Sides? How about reality? Doesn't that matter?
Hate? It's a children's book!!!
If you believe that, then all Christians hate atheists and want our "side" to lose. Where do people get this crap?

It amazes me how people who show such staunch and aggressive 'faith' and make such lectures on its unshakable strength, get so upset and scared whenever anything slightly atheistic comes along.
