"IS" I suppose if someone is afraid a book or a movie will shake her faith, she already must have doubts?

Beats me, they took ALL the thinking parts of the religious side out of the movie. None of it shows up in the first part that was in the book.
Actually the slant of the 'religious' stuff in the books was all about being mature enough to think for yourself and to question what didn't make sense. They weren't out to 'kill god' like I've seen in Christian reviews on the movie, the bad guy was a fallen angel pushing the people of that world to see how far they'd warp as a culture.
Somehow the reviewers never read the books to comment properly on the movie itself. Makes you think, hey?

From what I hear this is happening on many fronts here in Utah we have letters being sent to parents to boycott this movie. Due to the fact the store "The Golden Compass" was written by an Atheist. The Passion was Directed by Mel Gibson who is a devout (and anti semitic) Christian. but being that the reason the "Golden Compass" is causing an uproar because its Based on the first volume in the award-winning trilogy "His Dark Materials" by religious skeptic Philip Pullman, the movie already has been condemned by conservative Roman Catholics and evangelicals. They say it will hook children into Pullman's books and a dark, individualistic world where all religion is evil.
and the reason is because Their bishop told them not to see it :)

Probably because The Golden Compass is all about the concept of free will, something that some die-hard Roman Catholics have a hard time wrapping their heads around, since the teachings of Catholicism don't exactly mesh well with free will.

There has been a lot of negative press about how the girl kills God in the movie...so that's probably why.
