If we shun the myths or the doctrin of other beliefs from our minds (Because they are pagan) we limit our belief in God. We limit the way in which we get to know Him. Tolkien wrote about Faery and myths as a path to knowing God.

I would say that he wrote about Faery and Myths as a method of showing some truth in another setting; but he did not intend that the "other setting" be mistaken for the truth. Nor did he mistake it to be so. He still held that the gospel is the one entirely true myth. Therein lies the difference.
