I think we should just enjoy the LotR regardless of our religions. There are many virtues that are in the book which are universal yet the book is also full of myth and imagination. I think, we should appreciate Tolkien's work for what it is, not debating or upholding beliefs what religions that can be best associated with LotR. I think all almost all religions practise, in one way or another the ideals and virtues found in the book. There are also certain similiarities between a couple of religions in the world with Christianity if anyone did a little research, but that's another story.
But that's just my opinion. Anyway, this matter was already discussed somewhere in another threat I think. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
