Re: The Movie
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. I can't see why most religious folks would object to this book, since the picture it paints of the Magisterium/Church is recognisably one of out-of-control fundamentalism, the kind of extremism that disgusts both atheists and moderate believers.
I'm a big fan of the book, looking forward to the movie.

Re: spoiler alert
Yeah, that's one of the things I like about HDM; no-one needs to kill god in the end, he just blows away in the wind, having outlived his usefulness. If only...
I do understand why the book upsets some people, I just think that its primary target is uncompromising fundamentalism, not moderate Christianity.
