People like this are so narrow minded that it's not even worth arguing with them. For one he is making a huge deal out of something that is fairly trivial, after all this is just a childrens book and entertainment.
I'm not a religious person whatsoever, I'm not so arrogant to be an aetheist and assume there is nothing greater than human beings in this universe, but I take most religion with a LARGE grain of salt. Religion was ultimately created by one person or a few people who had similar beliefs. Those are their beliefs and I'll keep mine, I want nothing to do with what they think.
Generally people like this have just gotten too far into religion to the point that they can't see past it. They live in another world per se. This guys line about demons invading our world in the near future made his situation VERY clear to me. In short, he's a fool with blinders on. Hence, it is just better to point and laugh and get on with our lives. When missionary types come to our door I have a quick way of making them leave. Quite simply: "Sorry, We're satanists" (of course not realy :P )
