*Pullman is a [[militant]] [[atheist]] and [[secular humanist]] (who describes himself as both an [[agnostic]] and an atheist) has said "I don’t profess any [[religion]]; I don’t this it’s possible that there is a [[God]]; I have the greatest difficulty in understanding what is meant by the words ’spiritual’ or ’[[spirituality]]’" and despises [[C. S. Lewis]] and the [[Chronicles of Narnia]]. His motivation for writing this trilogy was specifically to counteract Lewis’ symbolisms of [[Christ]] that are portrayed in the Narnia series.
