In fact, atheism is every bit a religion as any other. But in the church of the non-believer, the high priest is cloaked beneath the vestment of pseudo-"science" pseudo-"science" and parishioners worship at the altar of moral anarchy. Still, like so much else in our culture, Pullman's aversion aver-sion to God would appear to boil down to sex.

Psalm 14:1 tells us, "The fool says in his heart, 'There is no God.' They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good." With "The Golden Compass," Phillip Pullman shares his heart with us - a heart that says, "There is no God." And he clearly wants to influence your child's heart as well. This movie's creation - or chance materialization, take your pick - has a specific spe-cific agenda. It is clearly targeted toward unsuspecting unsus-pecting children with the furtive goal of enlisting the next generation of "fools." But do as he will, the loving lov-ing God Whom Pullman rejects re-jects is bigger than all that. He's so big, in fact, that He gave his only Son for you, me, and yes, Phillip Pullman. Pull-man.
