(Finally got around to watching it)

For those of you who are fans, can you explain to me in what way it is atheistic?

I'm just not seeing it. Maybe the HBO series is dissenting from the books?

Because all I see is religious overtones, and I'm almost done with season two. There was one scene, with Lord Asriel, regarding being against the concept of sin, but there's been nothing definitively atheistic.

What am I missing?

I've never read the books, so I can't comment on that.

Pullman was the chairman of the British William Blake Society, and worked to memorialize Blake. He helped fund a memorial stone and tried to buy Blake's cottage in Felpham for the state. 

Blake was a Christian through and through. No one who respects Blake can be entirely against Christianity.
