'''''His Dark Materials''''' is a trilogy of fantasy novels by [[Britain|British]] author [[Philip Pullman]]. The trilogy, which consist of ''The Northern Lights'' (''[[The Golden Compass]]'' in [[North America]]), ''The Subtle Knife'', and ''The Amber Spyglass'', center around a girl, Lyra Belacqua and companion Will Parry, who dwell in a universe parallel to ours. The author is a blatant anti-Christian and his books reflect his world view. For instance, the Christian [[heaven]] is made to be a lie, with the "afterlife" consisting of a bleak underworld where human souls are being tormented by harpies, and [[God]] being merely an [[angel]] (the first) created from Dust. Dust is called the primary agent of creativity and abstract thought in the universe. In these books, the Church stands against human ingenuity and therefore against Dust. The books, nonetheless, are quite popular in both the [[United Kingdom|UK]] and [[United States]] among atheistic and anti-Christian communities.
