Respected Sir,
1) Brown states on his website that his books are not anti-Christian, though he is on a 'constant spiritual journey' himself, and says that his book The Da Vinci Code is simply "an entertaining story that promotes spiritual discussion and debate" and suggests that the book may be used "as a positive catalyst for introspection and exploration of our faith."

As Dan Brown says in his interview, at major extent I do agree with him. He simply does not raise his voice against Christianity in his book ‘The Da Vinci Code’. In fact his protagonist Robert Langdon stands in the support of Christianity; even though he comes to know about Sophie’s secret of being a blood line of Jesus Christ; he does not stop believing in his God.
3) (If)You have studied ‘Genesis’ (The Bible), ‘The Paradise Lost’ (John Milton) and ‘The Da Vinci Code’ (Dan Brown). Which of the narrative/s seem/s to be truthful? Whose narrative is convincing to the contemporary young mind?

According to me in comparison to all three: ‘Genesis’, ‘The Paradise Lose’, and ‘The Da Vinci Code’; ‘The Da Vinci Code’ has more convincing tone than the other two. It can convince contemporary minds, because Brown presented the things in more ingenuous way, withal scientific and logical arguments. As well he wonderfully uses the historical documents rather the told myths to move in the particular direction, or else there is no strong proof that those depictions are truth only. As Brown also considers his novel is ‘Theology Fiction’ just for the sake of entertainment.
8) When we do traditional reading of the novel ‘The Da Vinci Code’, Robert Langdon, Professor of Religious Symbology, Harvard University emerges as protagonist and Sir Leigh Teabing, a British Historian as antagonist. Who will claim the position of protagonist if we do atheist reading of the novel?

Yes, as in traditional reading of the novel ‘The Da Vinci Code’, Robert Langdon emerges as the protagonist. The same way, if we do the atheist reading of the novel; we find Sir Leigh Teabing challenges the position of Langdon. And Teabing becomes the protagonist; who tries to prove that Jesus was mortal and not divine through Jesus’ blood line in time.
As he said once, “Jesus as a great and powerful man, but a man nevertheless.”
Thank You…
