The Lord of the Rings has been banned by various religious organisations, for example:

Burned in Alamagordo, N. Mex. (2001) outside Christ Community Church along with other Tolkien novels as satanic. Source: 2007 Banned Books Resource Guide by Robert P. Doyle.

Which is clearly ridiculous as the LOTR was written by a deeply religious man and the book clearly demonstrates this in the shaping of characters and what happens to them. In fact, Professor Tolkien wrote in a letter to a friend, describing the creation of the LOTR: 'a fundamentally religious and Christian work; unconsciously so at first, but consciously in the revision."
