Ah but you see Evisse the Blue, Tolkien was a devout catholic. As he clearly experesses in his letters, there cannot be more than one God, the One, the Highest. The valar are his servants, and put as guardians of Eä and angels were the guardians of men. Check up Letter #131 to Milton Waldman, and Letter # 153 to Peter Hastings (both in The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien, hence the numbers) for some information on the subject.
