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.

Honestly, my issue with the series is that the books just weren't that good. And I like "teen" fantasy/science fiction.
And, despite the controversy, it appears that the movie's bombing. I doubt that the "boycotts" are the reason for this... The reviews were very underwhelming.
