Hmmm...I've never even thought of Tolkien having incorporated religion into his books. Although I suppose I likened the Valar (shoot...Valar? Vanyar? *sorry*) to Gods.
Anyways, I don't like thinking that Tolkien's books are religious. I don't know why. Perhaps because I am a religious person and maybe I need a break from it lol.
But probably just because I think that are two seperate things really and should be kept in their seperate categories.
Actually, I personally think that LOTR can be likened to WWII...
