The Valar are not other Gods, even lesser gods, JRRT denies this a lot. They are Angels, which fits in well with Christianity. Towards the end of his life (when he tried to write about the Fall of Man) he started to get annoyed that his world was such a parody of the bible, so maybe he didn't mean it to be totally like the bible, its just religion was such a large part of his life it poured out into ME.
