Because J.R.R Tolkien was Christian, do you think the Lord of the Rings is sort of an analogy to Christian beliefs?

Many Christian themes are present in the Lord of the Rings, but Tolkien went out of his way to avoid using direct analogies. In fact, he disapproved of the way C.S Lewis (who was a good friend of his) incorporated christianity directly into his work, believing that it ruined the story. He made sure of making this clear, saying in the foreword to The Fellowhip of the Ring:
"As for any inner meaning or 'message', it has in the intention of the author none. It is neither allegorical or topical... But I cordially dislike allegory in all its manifestations, and always have done so since I grew old and wary enough to detect its presence. I much prefer history, true or feigned, with its varied applicability to the thought and experience of readers."

Yeah, I think so. like c.s lewis and Narnia Chronicle's.

I don't think he had it mind when he wrote Lord of the Rings... There is no evidence that he was ever Christian and it seems like a bit of stretch to think of God and Christian beliefs while writing a large trilogy like LOTR. Plus, he also wrote a lot of other great books as well, which have no evidence of anything to do with Christianity.

I hope not - it would ruin the originality of Lord of The Rings. I've always thought of it as really imaginative, but, if your theory is correct, it would just be the bible slightly changed, with different names and creatures...

So, I'm going to think optimistically, here. My answer: No.

No, I don't think The Lord of the Rings is a metaphoric analogy to Christian beliefs. They may have provided some basis to the morals and spirits of the story, but The Lord of the Rings is also based on ancient Northern and German stories, the sagas.
Besides, the Lord of the Rings fantasy world does not include a religious culture. We don't know anything about the religions of the folk of Middle-Earth, there are no temples, no sacred places, priests and nuns. It is not even revealed how King Elessar wedded Arwen (you'd assume there was a white dress, a great church, a priest to wed them and whatever weddings come with).
I don't think you need to take the Ring as metaphor for Sin or Sauron as that of Satan to find how religious Tolkien was. All of the characters are cold blooded to the extreme and very moral, they aren't glutton or lusty, sometimes you assume they have water in their veins. No graphic violence, no hedonism, no selfishness and above all no sex whatsoever. The good characters are as white as the bedsheets of a maid and the bad characters are as black as coal. The Lord of the Rings is an epic story, but sometimes you wish the characters acted as though they were alive. For those two things, lust and greed, move the world since the first fish came ashore, or more befit to the question, since God created the first fish and told them to populate the world.

well i think about that al well i mean if you think about it it could be related to Christianity and the Bible and i know tolkien was a christian but i don'n totally think it was based or meant to be like the Bible, but it could be.

Just read THE SILMARILLION, and then tell us what impression made u. I've read it and for not spoilling ur reading,i'll just say it really made me think about the way the bible it!s written. The creation,the first most powerfull spirits, they were like guardians to the whole creation-in Valaquenta. The one that rebelled(Morgoth) and 4rm wich all evil creatures that appear in Lotr derived. So i got sooo amazed because it resembled the christian history of creation.

Given that the Christian story and themes played an important role in Tolkien's life I can see how similar themes would appear without conscious choice. I do not think Tolkien intentionally wrote LOTR etc. as an allegory.

That is good so I can meet him in Heaven and yes
