I seem to recall reading that Pullman was more of the Richard Dawkins camp: an out-and-out atheist. But one shouldn't confuse that position with being amoral; his morality is just grounded in philosophical rather than spiritual terms.

I have respect for that. Atheism shows decisiveness; agnosticism smacks of hedging one's bets.

everyone should read Bertrand Russel's "Why I'm Not A Christian"

it sounds a lot more aggressive towards religion than it actually is

what would happen if you had a split personality? As a n adult, a daemon has one shape, but if there was a split personality it would be a split in the soul, right, so maybe the daemon would have two forma and switch between them...
