Quoth the Guardian: "Pullman's books may be a reaction against his bête noire, CS Lewis, but it seems to have escaped his notice that we live in a predominantly secular age."
Erm... I can see that the His Dark Materials trilogy would be tough to adapt as a play or movie. But "we live in a predominantly secular age"?!?!? Tell that to Bush, Osama, Al Qaeda's creepy minions, or, for that matter, any number of far nicer human beings for whom religion is still a major, if not central, part of their lives.
Still... mind if I join you under that rock?
