Tolkien did not want any "religion" per-se, but he did want to represent and support good morals and standards.

That is what I personally appreciate in Tolkien’s works (among other things). Of course there are strong religious undertones and ideas, as has been stated, but they are not too prominent, not offensive to people of other confession or non-believers – IMHO . And supporting high moral standards – that’s a sign of really good literary work.
