I haven't read the book yet but I can tell you that the "Harry Potter" series was not "anti" religion nor had an anti religion message but the "super christians" (term I like to use, don't mean to offend anyone) wanted it removed in some schools because it contained witchcraft which they didn't want their kids to be exposed to.
Regardless of the author's agenda the book should be judged on it's content. If it's anti christian then that's wrong to be in the school. If there was a book in the school that was anti witchcraft do you think the Christians would want it removed?
