I do not see the Lord of the Rings mythology as a religion, the books, like the Qu'ran or the Bible. I see the Lord of the Rings as wonderful series of books and off-branches of books, whose writer took deep into thought created a world of wonder, excitement and adventure. He created, a whole new world, a world in which Lord of the Rings fans today still play in. I imagine that my children's, and their childrens childrens generation will still be play in that world of his.

I don't believe he'd like to call it a religion, a mythology yes, but nothing more. Great literature hath no limits.
