TechnoratiKidman, a Catholic, has defended her role in the film by saying she would not want to star in a movie that was anti-religious.
The Catholic League, however, remains unconvinced by Pullman's assurances.
On its website, the group says: "It is his objective to bash Christianity and promote atheism. To kids."
Catholic League President Bill Donohue voiced his scepticism in a statement last Thursday: “The last thing Pullman trusts is the people.
“That is why he tries to sneak his atheism in back-door to kids. If he had any courage, he’d defend his work, but instead he continues to do what he does best – practice deceit.”
Donahue also doubted Pullman’s claims that the he just intends readers to get a “good experience of a good story,” pointing to a comment made several years ago by the writer.
"I'm trying to undermine the basis of Christian belief," said Pullman in an article by The Washington Post, adding that C.S. Lewis, the Christian author of “Chronicles of Narnia,” would describe his books as the “Devil's work.”
“The Golden Compass” releases in the United States on Dec. 7.
Christian Post reporter Katherine T. Phan in San Francisco contributed to this article.
