It was okay. And that goes for both the movie and the book.

In the movie they did show the questioning of authority and the dangers of institutions that engage in mind control and try to get rid of anyone whose beliefs are different- like some religious organizations have done in the past. But they did not have any overt criticism of religion.

Although IIRC, they only do some analysis in The Golden Compass book and they get to the downright criticism in the two sequels.

I prefer Narnia.
