#53 OP

[(Anonymous)]

So...attacking a neutral concept that has inspired both atrocities and wonders somehow equates to a message of overcoming oppression and orthodoxy?

Learn to differentiate between failure states of religion (e.g. fundamentalist Christianity, "Islamofascism" lol) and the many people who are content to go about their daily lives quietly believing in some higher power or powers. :/

I think Pullman does differentiate, and that's what I like about his books. I'm not religious, because I hate the way religion is used to control and intimidate, but I love the great art (of all kinds) that has come from religion, and find the myths fascinating. Pullman's world is full of these wonders and intellectual curiosity, beauty, self-sacrifice and kindness. He's not saying religious people don't have these qualities (though many people say atheists *cannot* have these qualities) or that their religious feeling is evil. It's what they do with that religious feeling, the use of religion as undemocratic and tyrannical rulership, and the belief that only their religion is right that Pullman attacks, and rightly so.

I have a lot of respect for people who are inspired by faith to do great (or humble and kind) things. I don't think religion is the only way to do this.

Yes, this. Well said. That's just what I was getting at.
