Isn't that usually the case? And what better way to increase sales, popularity, interest, etc in a thing than to ban it?
"Just what's so bad in those [whatever] books that makes people so afraid? Hmmm, I might just have to pick up a copy and see for myself."
Did some writing in college, and so know first hand that what you write and what your audience 'reads' may be two different things. JRRT may have secretly wanted to convert the entire world to Christianity or atheism or even 'Tolkienism', or may just have wanted to write a great fantasy story.
Conspiracies anyone?
