I am exactly one of those children. I was not raised in a christian family, or with any other religion. I also read the entire series and enjoyed it very much. I remember having a certain affinity to some of the principles that underly the story and that can be attributed to my upbringing in western, judeo-christian society.
The way I read it is this: everyone will take from the story the message they want to take, their interpretation will be founded upon their perspective.
For me this meant these were just characters who displayed characteristics that I identified as right and wrong because that's what my parents and society taught me, not the bible.
