Religious Messages?

I was supporting part of your statement, so...

ok, just never sure with you

lord of the rings was religiously inspired though. specifically, christian end times. it draws a lot of parallels to the final battle in revelations.

All true, but my point is even though an artist thinks they understands their influences and inspiration; there's always room for the unconscious to sneak in and leave a smoking (freudian) cigar in the ashtray.

well of course any time you create something all of your experiences will come to bare in the creative process, there is no way to filter out one section of your life, but your unconious inspirations will be passed through your direct inspiration and show themselves in that way.

Aside from some of the characters' names, there doesn't seem to be any religious overtones. All of humanity has a common threat, and if they want to survive they need to work together; regardless of race, religion, etc etc. To me, that's more of a spiritual message, rather than a religious one.
