The books genuinely are pretty critical of the Catholic Church. And Cannoli cannot accept that something criticizing what he loves can be a fine piece of writing. Hence, it must be crap.

The novels are very good and as RT says, more anti-religious authority than anti-religion.

I liked the Golden Compass adaptation well enough. But then I read the book.

I actually really didn't like the novels. I found them bleak, nihilistic, and not very well written.
