A lot of people have talked about strong religious undertones in LOTR, but im not so sure. I may be wrong, but i dont think religion is ever mentioned in LOTR. When people do things its for their friends, or because its the right thing to do - religion seems to have no bearing on their lives or actions.

Any thoughts?
