In the end, it might be more of a misunderstanding than anything else.

If he's writing children's novels about "killing God" (which is something he has said), how is that different from wanting to kill God in the minds of children? BTW, I do actually like his books, despite the heavy-handed ideology. Right, but what I meant to say is that even if he didn’t say it, it’s not a huge logical leap from what he wrote.
