Just a thought: If the "incorporation" of Christianity in Tolkien's books just "happened", was Tolkien aware of it? Did he not become aware of it before somebody pointed it out? Did he ever try to avoid it or re-write to make it less evident?

Perhaps someone with a better knowledge of Letters has anythng on this...?
