It was not an allegory. There was perhaps some symbolism, on purpose or by accident I do not know, but an allegory has to be like The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. It has to be constant in representing things, if you know what I mean. Although Tolkien's works do seem to represent Christian stuff (like Melkor being a high angel and falling like Satan did) it doesn't do that consistently. That's my opinion.
