Some Christian groups see author Philip Pullman as a dangerous disseminator of atheist ideals. I see him entirely differently.
By Donna Freitas<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->It goes on to argue that the book is actually christianism. (OR it could merely be that christians are frightened out of their wits about 'evil atheism' and trying the old appropriation trick before it's too late.)
Though <i>if</i> Freitas is correct in her rather boring-to-read 'observations' (I say <i>if</i>, because my attention kept wandering from any points she may have attempted to make), it would merely be yet another example of how what the west understands as atheism tends to always turn out to be nothing more than christianism. Just as is the case with communism. Western society is so conditioned by christianism that it can only ever view anything from the christo perspective. They need to shake themselves completely free. Else it's just plain sad.
