Tolkien was a [[roman catholic]].<ref>Tolkien wrote to Deborah Webster, 25 Oct 1958: ''I am a Christian (which can be deduced from my stories), and in fact a Roman Catholic.'', ''[[The Letters of J. R. R. Tolkien]]'', Letter 213</ref><ref>In an interview to [[Dennis Gerrolt]], broadcast in January 1971 on the BBC Radio 4 programme ''Now Read On ...'', Tolkien was asked if he was a theist, to which he replied ''I'm a Roman Catholic. Devout Roman Catholic.''</ref>
