You missed the point of my post. I'm saying that the media's influence on people (especially children) is greatly exaggerated. Just as Narnia had little to no effect on my belief system or that of the millions of others who have read it, His Dark Materials will be read by millions more who enjoy the story without subscribing to the ideology behind it. Being scared of a book because you think it'll turn your child atheist just makes no sense to me. It might happen once in a great while, but if it does, I guarantee it's nothing more than the straw that broke the camel's back, as opposed to a Pullman-inspired epiphany.
