a militant atheist and secular humanist

==Pullman's views on religion==
Blogger Joe Levi charged:
*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.
