I read them to my daughter and she and I both enjoyed them. The children don't kill God, what dies in this series is man's idea of God, which through time has been corrupted by man -- so the author feels. God, in the book, is a decrepit old man whose time has past, but he is being preserved by an evil angel. At the very end, the children live to fulfill their role as Adam and Eve, thus saving the entire universe from evil and annihilation, so that all beings can live in peace. It's a new Adam and Eve story, where no one falls from grace. I don't feel the author is anti-God, but rather anti religious dogma. I read your comment about the Pullman series.
