Question Christianity

There seem to be a lot of christians using all the Tolkien forums I've found on the net so far. What attracts them to the stories so much when they believe in a completely different mythology? After all Tolkien wrote these stories as a mythology for us poor old Anglo Saxons who lost our own mythology because of our continual invasion and occupation by such people as the Vikings, the Romans, the Normans during the time up until 1066. This makes the story disagree with the story of Christ in my eyes. I realise this is a slightly inflammatory subject but I hope it is food for thought!
