- The new children's movie "The Golden Compass" starring Nicole Kidman is based on a trilogy written by Philip Pullman, an atheist from London who has a strong hate for the ideas of God and the Kingdom of Heaven. His books are about children who represent Adam and Eve and end up killing God, then the world does as it pleases after that. The movie is a dulled down version of this. The point of the movie is to get unaware parents to take their children to see it, enjoy the story, and then buy... (read more)

this website has more information about Philip Pullman and the background of this movie
Here's a clip from an interview with Pullman about his trilogy by Jennifer Abbots from teenreads.com. It shows his outspoken hatred for religion and Creationism:
Abbots: HIS DARK MATERIALS mixes religion, magic, and science all together --- though different worlds rely more heavily on one or the other. Our world --- the world Will lives in --- seems to be most influenced by science. Do you think we are missing out on the magic?
Pullman: Perhaps. I'm pretty skeptical, though. I think we're far too superstitious on the whole. As for disgraceful betrayals of wisdom such as the pretense that there is something called "creation science" and we ought to give it equal time in schools with proper science --- I'm ashamed to belong to a human race that is so sunk in abject ignorance and willful stupidity.
"I've been surprised by how little criticism I've got. Harry Potter's been taking all the flak. I'm a great fan of J.K. Rowling, but the people - mainly from America's Bible Belt - who complain that Harry Potter promotes Satanism or witchcraft obviously haven't got enough in their lives. Meanwhile, I've been flying under the radar, saying things that are far more subversive than anything poor old Harry has said. My books are about killing God."
