It isn't, it is a work of fiction. Like Life of Brian. Like Left Behind. Like Aliens. Like 1984.

I've read the book which was very good but I haven't seen the movie yet, but I will. I had heard that some christians were upset because in the third book of the series the child kills a god.
OK since I as an atheist know there is no such thing as a god. How is it that christians are labeling this movie as an atheist movie when it shows a god (which we know doesn't exist) being killed? Maybe anti-theism movie would be a better label.
Bottom line is that it is a movie, it is a work of fiction, it was intended for entertainment not as some kind of spiritual message for the ages.

As a child, I watched Left Behind. I was an atheist before I watched it, and remained an atheist after I watched it.
If the Christian faith can be obliterated by a children's movie, then the faith might as well be non-existent.

In his appearance on the “Today” show Thursday, Pullman implicitly denied that his work is selling “atheism for kids” when ”Today” host Al Roker brought up the accusations made by the Catholic League.
“Well, you know, I always mistrust people who tell us how we should understand something. They know better than we do what the book means or what this means and how we should read it and whether we should read it or not,” said Pullman.
“I don’t think that’s democratic,” he continued. “I prefer to trust the reader. I prefer to trust what I call the democracy of reading – when everybody has the right to form their own opinion and read what they like and come to their own conclusion about it. So I trust the reader.”

It's commonly referred to as hysteria.
"hysteria" [noun]
exaggerated or uncontrollable emotion or excitement, esp. among a group of people : the mass hysteria that characterizes the week before Christmas.
• Psychiatry a psychological disorder (not now regarded as a single definite condition) whose symptoms include conversion of psychological stress into physical symptoms (somatization), selective amnesia, shallow volatile emotions, and overdramatic or attention-seeking behavior.

It is Atheist and as a fellow Christian I would recommend that you don't see it. It is meant to turn kids away from God.

A movie can not be atheist. It was written by an atheist. It's a workl of fantasy so it really shouldn't be able to hurt your faith.

It's just a movie. Go watch it, bring a friend and I'm sure you'll love it.
