Off topic with recent discussion, but relevant to original post:

I just wanted to put in that it's interesting to question the majority faith of LOTR readers. I also know that some people, examples on this board, are very devout Christians (whatever denomination) and absolutely treasure LOTR, find no fault in it, and fight our little hearts out if anyone tries to tell us otherwise. However, from the same or very similar Christian faiths, the oposite opinions are taken with just as much flame. It just goes to show that what's going on in terms of contraversy has nothing to do with religion, just people's perceptions and their own personal tastes.
