His Dark Materials executive producer: Our show is "not an attack on religion"

Variety

Executive producer Jane Tranter addressed the religious controversy surrounding the film adaptation of the Philip Pullman's novels. “We’re adapting the books across the board expense of television, one of the things that can happen when you adapt a book for film is the that you have to cut down the middle for the story,” Tranter said at the TV press tour. “The religious controversy that was around the film was not relevant to the books themselves….Philip Pullman talks about depression, there control of information and the falsification of information….there is no direct contrast with any contemporary religious organization.”
