In any story the ideals of christianity are there somewhere wether you are religious or not because society has lived with it for so long. So even if you made a new religion like was said before it would have the exact same message.
However a book is written to bring a messsage to the reader and that is more important than beginning a religion on a world someone created.
Although Middle-Earth is a different world things such as good,evil,and friendship are the same therefore the main ideals are the same.
