What? How. How is this even a question really, he was one of the most devout Catholics there were. He pretty much turned C.S. Lewis by nagging him to death about it - though he ultimately chose something besides Catholicism. LOTR themselves have such deep catholic themes that I don't even know how these baits threads can be considered, I suppose if you only read them on the surface though, you might miss out on a lot of it.

Pegan revisionism is pure cringe. Just because you like myths does not make you a pegan. But that is a statement vargcucks don't understand.
He was also a big linguist and believed you can find truth in the entomology of words , does that make him a new age language worshiper.

Arthurian legends were essentially pagan, just like knights and crusaders they only had a christian skin.

Pagans are the most degenerate and deprived group of people. Just brainlets who impute human actions to the gods so as to justify their own wickedness.

He literally forced his wife to confess her sins almost every day, and was deeply disappointed by Lewis returning to his old religion (he was expecting him to become a Catholic).

Tolkien's only issue with arthurian literature was its frenchness. But this thread is just varg baiting for (you)s anyway.
