I don't think that Tolkien purposefully made Lord of the Rings a religious thing. He has said it himself, that there was no allegory intended. However, it was always my knowledge that Tolkien was a very religious, devote Catholic and so maybe there are some religious stories underlying Lord of the Rings that Tolkien didn't even realize he put there.
