Of course, almost all of the "trappings" of Christmas and Easter are
pagan.

I love Lewis, Tolkein, and Rowlings, but I do not like Pullman at 
ALL...and I am not a Christian

it's not about yes or no to organized religion...Lewis could be quite 
disdainful of the perfumed denizens of large churches..it's about 
being affirmational, inspirational, and loving....

Pullman's portrayals of tortured children are not my idea of 
fun..where does good triumph in his books (have I missed it?)
