*waves a friendly greeting to elvenchristian*
Many people are misinterpreting Tolkien's books - even on this board! Some people have said that Tolkien was trying to use occultism, and influence people to follow that "religion." He took qualities from mythology, not occultism!
If Tolkien wanted to tell everyone that he was a Christian, he would have written books like C.S.Lewis did.
BTW, I'm going to read Lewis' books. Are they good? I've heard good things about Mere Christianity.
