Bible and Tolkien?

I was just reading bible ( i don't believe in God, at least not in the Christianistic way) and i was amazed by how much that book reminded me about all Tolkiens books. The same style or what, just something in the story so similar. That high speech, like god is talking, someone who knows and sees it all.
But actually i must admit i like Tolkien better although Bible is the book of books and that kind of a thing, but the life isn't that alive there. When you read a part of Bible you don't go to sleep wandering what may happen in the next chapter if you know what i mean (and i'm sure you do). I feel its the amazement the things give you that really counts.
