Don't you think the "Silmarillion" religion could be a good religion?

it's a Norse Pagan religion, so focused on the old Norse Gods and the Sagas. they have a very good ethical basis, which I try to incorporate into my life, known as the Nine Noble Virtues.
there's a lot of words for the different groupings of Gods, which I can't remember how to spell right now, but there's a lot of information on it out there.
some people have tried Hijacking it as some kind of white supremacist thing, so if you come across that, just dismiss them as the nutters they are, and keep looking.

I this from "Lord of the Rings"? Do you have a link to the description of it? "Silmarillion" that it is.

Thanks for your answer and interest. The Silmarillion is a postume work of Tolkien, it is like a Bible that explains his whole mytology since the birth of the Earth. At the end of it, it talks about the "Lord of the Rings" story, but from another point of view. You should read it, and learn about Illuvatar, the God over all, who has made the universe by means of music, and the Valars, the semi=gods that rule the destinies, and why the races of middle earth, such as elfs, are the way they are, and how was all started. I love it.
