And the HP books push the old Spiderman axiom: with great power comes great responsibility.

The whole series is completely blank on the God issue. Looking for religion in the series is a waste of time. now if you don't want to like it because it doesn't push Christianity that's your perogative, but don't lie about it. It's not anti-christian, it's religiously neutral. What you get out of it on the religious question will be what you put into it. Hunt for things you won't like and you'll find them, hunt for things you will like and you'll find them, personally I prefer to read the story the author ACTUALLY wrote and not hunt for my own bias. And the story the author actually wrote simply is not anti-christian. They don't teach that you can have supernatural powers and do whatever you want. That "message" simply is not there, only people who want it to be there will find it, and that's THEIR freaking problem for trying to find reasons to doubt their faith under every rock in the world.

There is not such thing as "religiously neutral".

And let me say it again:
