[Carannillion]

Let's not forget that Tolkien did in fact start out with creating a language , 'simply for the delight of creation itself' (not sure if that is an accurate quote), and then he decided to make the LotR (and Sil and Hobbit etc.) as a way of binding the language to something. Thus making the language even more complete.

Of course Tolkien's works has some Christian/religious aspects. Everything you write contains a reflection of yourself (except if you concentrate VERY hard on not doing it). Also, everything you read , you will interpret and memorize according to your own personality. It's nothing more or less than being human.
