I guess if you didn't know that the world of Middle Earth was fictional and entirely made up in Tolkien's mind, it would make a pretty cool religion, but since we know that, I think it would be difficult to get some really sincere beliefs. I suppose you could try to follow the examples of the characters you find most admirable, but I wouldn't say that's necessarily a religious thing; it would depend on whether you relate to those principles as being things that would please God or get you into heaven or whatever objective you're trying to achieve spiritually.
