I wasn’t paying attention

Apparently there’s an anti-god message to The Golden Compass. According to the Wikipedia page for “Northern Lights”, the novel on which the movie is based (emphasis mine):
In a 2003 interview, Philip Pullman said, “I’ve been surprised by how little criticism I’ve got. Harry Potter’s been taking all the flak. I’m a great fan of J.K. Rowling, but the people - mainly from America’s Bible Belt - who complain that Harry Potter promotes Satanism or witchcraft obviously haven’t got enough in their lives. Meanwhile, I’ve been flying under the radar, saying things that are far more subversive than anything poor old Harry has said. My books are about killing God.“
Wow. I totally slept through that movie…
