You have all made a very good point. I also realize that this was not a very good or fair comparison. Though if Tolkien was a Christian, could his religion have affected his books a little. And it is pretty obvious to me too that Tolkien did not intentionally make this similarity. I have also read his note when he said he did not like allegories. So probably did not make any part of this book alike to the Bible, not intentionally at least.
