The HP books didn't mention religion but here in the States many conservative religious groups tried to ban the books because of the use of witchcraft and "other satan-inspired" things.

I have participated in discussions with a few local religious fundamentalists who have point blank told me that I will be damned for eternity because I let my children read books other than the Bible.

I kind of threw a monkey wrench into the works when I asked which version of the Bible was truly the word of God, especially as we know that the King James version was written by a group of appointed men (no women) of a particular religious persuasion who argued over the meaning of various phrases and ending up deciding by consensus/compromise.

I've often wondered what they do about printing errors

I have also often wondered what they do with all of the begets and begots and the extramarital sex, and . . .
