Assume that you believe that Tolkien's work was some type of revelation, or a way of living. How would you express that?

Illuvitarian? Reformed?
No, seriously, if I had read the Simarillion as if it were the Bible I'm still not sure if you could form a religion from it.
You have to admit, Illuvitar is a pretty hands off type of creator. There's not a whole lot of "Thou shalt do this" and "Thou shalt not do that, if thou knows what's good for thee!" in the histories.
Unless I'm forgetting something.

But I don't believe you can have much of a religion if you don't have a deity laying out ground rules.
