no, really, there are actually small refererences to the bible in LOTR. its not largely based on it, but him being very religious, he put a few in.
its like people's obsession with him being gay. people will only look at things as they want to see them.
and with both harry potter and LOTR, the theme of it all is that good never wins, it only buys itself time.
there definately are small references. take this for example from the link to the article i posted:
Most tellingly: The Fellowship embarks on its mission on December 25 (Christmas). It ends exactly three months later, on March 25 (the date of the Fall of Man, the Annunciation, and the Crucifixion in the old English calendar).
