why is there no religion in lotr? there are no churches, no priests, no altars, nobody ever mentions god or gods despite god canonically existing in the world. are they all atheists?
>>
>>201757222
Sorry chud but they don’t need religion in a world with real magic
>>
>>201757222
Canonically, they didn't need religion because God made himself known to them unambiguously.

But also because Tolkien didn't want to distract the reader from the Christian allegory that was the entire corpus.

>>201757248
and they don't question where it comes from?

>>201757259

They do know where it comes from. Eru doesn't ask for faith and penance and offerings like most contemporary religions preach. He simply exists as his emissaries do his work. They don't know a God to whom they can pray and call upon.

Seriously, why do you retards keep making lotr threads like this? If you want to discuss lotr just tax post you dope
>>
>>201757222
If you knew god was real, wouldn't commit to him even more?

Doesn't LOTR subscribe to the idea that god once existed but have since become absent, only intervening by sending the angels.

Honestly, realistically there would be a cult following Gandalf because he is literally a messenger of god.

are you literally retarded

Hackson was a hack, I'm glad to see more and more people realize this. His only good movie was Fellowship

Ah, yes, I'm remembering all the religions rites and pagan rituals that Tolkien wrote and Jackson declined to include in the films.
