As for me, I like the term Tolkienist much better then Tolkienite, which sounds like a name of a fossil. Even though it does have the implication of a religious characteristics, but going around convincing our friends to read Tolkien and virtually forcing a lotr copy into their hands doesn't seem a lot different from going around preaching Christianity and giving out little booklets. At least, that's how I see it.
