Writing a trilogy called “His Dark Materials”, saying he’d like C.S. Lewis to believe he’s doing “the devil’s work” and that is books are about “killing God” isn’t open enough for you? Does he need to do a book tour with Anton LeVey to make it more clear? Maybe participate in a nationally televised ritualistic animal sacrifice?
Please. Don’t be obtuse.
Anton LeVay was public about being an atheist too.
