In an article from The New Yorker he is quoted as saying, "I don’t profess any religion; I don’t think it’s possible that there is a God; I have the greatest difficulty in understanding what is meant by the words ‘spiritual’ or ‘spirituality’..." [2]
--
He is described in a 09-Mar-2004 article in the London Times as a "a self-confessed atheist whose trilogy ends with the death of God. His work has infuriated many religious believers and conservative commentators." [3]

Peter Hitchens calls Pullman "[T]he most dangerous author in Britain" in a The Mail on Sunday, 27-Jan-2002. [4]
