Except that Tolkien himself subscribed to the Bible, as a devout Latin Mass going Roman Catholic, even after they started celebrating in the vernacular. He would sit, and loudly respond in Latin, given that he hated the vernacular so much. He was always an EXTREMELY hard-core Roman Catholic, his entire life. In fact, he belonged to a literary group that included CS Lewis and several others, all Anglicans and Roman Catholics, all devout, all fantasy writers. It was called the Inklings, as they all had an inkling of what the perfect England would be like. And it always included belief in God.
You people are a hoot. You make comments like that, not realising that by saying things of that nature, you are simply making asses of yourselves. Trust me, these men were far more devout then you will ever comprehend. They would have laughed, and in fact did laugh, at atheism whenever the subject came up. They thought it was a joke, and a bad one at that.
