And while the company that made the film said they pulled the Anti-Christian parts from the film, I'm surely not going to support it and support Pullman in doing so. And by NO means am I an uber-Christian. I just can't believe this is the kind of movie we're letting our children go see when we know what it represents...

Honestly, the movie will probably have little remnants of the book as far as those issues.
It's less an attack on Catholicism/organized religion and more of a criticism of an all powerful theocracy.
