In the LotR the conflict is not basically about 'Freedom', though that is naturally involved. It is about God, and His sole right to divine honour. The Eldar and the Numenoreans believed in The One, the true God, and held worship of any other person an abomination.

The men of Numenor worshiped Eru and no other.
