I've not read the books, yet, but this movie will see me in the book store tomorrow. There is nothing overtly anti-religious in the movie, though any challenge to authority or dogma (which this movie champions) tends to be interpreted as anti-religious.
In addition, the performances turned in by the cast are nothing short of stellar, and this includes the voice-overs for the CGI characters. And speaking of CGI, there are very few scenes without CGI. And of that CGI, it is among the best I've seen so far. Some of it is simply eye-popping, especially the attention to detail. For example, we've all seen how, as we walk though snow, the snow scatters ahead of us as we step, sometimes rolling into little balls. Such details are not lost in this movie.
There are violent scenes in the movie, along with startling and scary moments. Small children might be upset by some of this, but my 7 and 9 year old did very well with it.
