Aosama, the Wandering Star has just left Hobbiton.

Even from my point of view, this is somewhat nauseating.
Can't anything - anything at all, be it book, person, movie, song - simply exist without getting some sort of label slapped on it?
Of course Tolkien was a Christian. I read that, say, "ooh, great, we've got somethin in common" and keep on reading. As a writer, everything in my life 'leaks' out onto what I write, including my ex-uncle, annoying (or not) siblings, and my religion. Tolkien might have felt the same way.
This in no way means the books are 'Christain' or are only for religious people. I know lots of non-religious people who adore the lord of the rings. A word of advice to practically everyone, though only a few are ever blatantly guilty of this:
Stop trying to label, catalogue and colour-code everything! It's getting old!
