I'm not sure, there are certainly some similarities. The Silmarilion is certainly like the old testement, starting with a creation story and then the adventures of "God's" creation. There is a bad guy who was once good.

Tolkien was also a friend with C.S. Lewis, who wrote stories that were definatly related to the bible, so it might make sence that Tolkien also wrote alegories.
