Bah, no one's defending a new religion here. If you want to study Tolkien's history, his people, etc., with a Secondary Belief you may find yourself relying on J. R. R. Tolkien as historian and translator. But at the same time it must be remembered that he did make a legendarium, and he will be the leading authority if you want to know anything about it's contents. Tolkien said that Tom Bombadil was not God. He could not have simply been mistaken, in this I am not looking at the Lord of the Rings as a translation of ancient texts, but literature.

Pretending to be J. R. R. Tolkien's ghost is tasteless, only the tasteless or the careless will say otherwise.
