Ironically, Tolkien was a Christian, and the mythology of Middle Earth mirrors a Biblical view of the world. Aragorn having to "walk the Paths of the Dead" to assume his kingship is but one of many reflections of Tolkien's Christian viewpoint. Gandalf was indeed a fictional angelic character in a fictional world, but that world is a reflection of a Biblical reality.
