I watched an interview with Pullman who stated that Paradise Lost was his favourite piece of literature and that he got goosebumps reading it, thus there's a lot of Milton influence within the books.
I just think this is dumb overall-reading Harry Potter won't make you a witch, reading the Golden Compass (Northern Lights in England, some trivia for you) won't make you an atheist.
Come on, armoured bears, different universes, standing up to a wrongful and oppressive institution? Read that into it instead of assuming anyone who reads Pullman stops believing in God.
It's his epic, he's said so himself.
