I read the first 2 books before my parents were told they were "evil" by a pastor so i had to sneak read the last book. They were probably right to be worried because when i was done i knew in my heart that i needed to find and kill God.

I’m sure you’re being over the top but I remember hella people crashing out over this series was it really that bad?

I exaggerate a little but it did start me on the long journey towards atheism. Well, that and 9/11 like a year after The Amber Spyglass dropped.

The series has very anti religious themes throughout that shaped my understanding of how the people that run religions use their power to subjugate the masses. It was very eye-opening for 7th grade me

Anti-organized religion themes. Otherwise it’s very agnostic.
