Interestingly, here in the UK, no less a religious figure than the Archbishop of Canterbury has said that he is a fan of the book.
Liberal religious types won't mind it, but many religious people will.
As this is EvC, here's a kind of connection. One of the five "blurbs" on the inside of the front cover of my paperback copy of Richard Dawkins' "The God Delusion" quotes Pullman.
He says:

The God Delusion is written with all the clarity and elegance of which Dawkins is a master. It is so well written, in fact, that children deserve to read it as well as adults. It should have a place in every school library - especially in the library of every "faith" school.
I hope the Archbishop has taken note of this.
Apparently the "dreaming spires" of Oxford disguise a nest of atheists.
