IDK never read the book but I'm guessing the guy was a christfag and wanted to portray the savage children worshiping some kind of pagan god

this, the book is an allegory of humans without god; i.e., to the author's perception, a lack of inherent morality in the absence of a god

the book has a sinthesyzed narrative , which, just like an already killed germ in vaccine is good for educational purposes and belongs to classroom only. The story is a textbook example of symbolism, social anthropology etc, and that only because it sucks ass in comparison to real literature.
