Many comments could be made on this. I'll just say that's a rare editing direction, heartening in spite of the petty rationale given.

His Dark Materials was created, I have read, as an antidote to C. S. Lewis' timeless, wonderfully positive, Christian series The Chronicles of Narnia. It was an anti-Christian vision. Assuming that's an accurate assessment, it's sad if you're disappointed that the film won't be as vitriolically God-haunted.
