Re:

On the subject of religion and Tolkien, Gilthalion beat me to all the points I was going to make.

On the 'best book of the century' my emphasis was more on the point that to pick one book out of the millions that have been written all over the world and proclaim it as the best....well, I just don't agree with that. There are many brilliant works of literature and I don't believe that LoTR is the best though I do think it's ONE of the best-definitely.
