    Now for real...Rohirrim defintiely represent Indo-European tribes. In times those books were written there was a Nordicist romantization of Scythians, Sarmatians and other legendary, in their minds, blond steppe horsemen.

    Hobbits are insular Celts, obviously. Simple minded yet lovely people deeply ingrained with nature, song, and love for their lust green homeland.

    Gondor could be either eastern Roman Empire/Byzantinum or Frankish Empire.

    Orcs and their allies represent Ottomans, Mongols, Saracens/Arabs/Moors and all other invaders of Europe.

    Dwarfs - more like Alpine Celts/south Germans than like the Jews. Stuck in their mountains, greedy, love to collect wealth but also fierce warriors. Reminds of Swiss/Bavarians/Austrians.

    Elves - no idea. They don't really fit any European nation. Nordic countries would be closest though.

    No, Tolkien had absolutely no regard for allegories. The idea behind Tolkien's Legendarium was to show how Anglo-Saxon mythos would have looked like before the Normans wiped it out.

    OP obviously never read the books 1. Middle Earth is monotheistic, Eru Iluvatar is the creator and supreme being of Middle Earth, Melkor found this out when he sought to create original beings; he instead could only twist Eru Iluvatar's creations. 2. Turin Turambar is a Christ like figure who will be reincarnated and slay Melkor at Dagor Dagorath, the Battle of Battles or the Apocalypse essentially when Melkor (who like Satan was banished) will find a way to return and wage the final battle.
    Those who want to live, let them fight, and those who do not want to fight in this world of eternal struggle do not deserve to live.

    Even if this were hard--that is how it is ! Assuredly, however, by far the harder fate is that which strikes the man who thinks he can overcome Nature, but in the last analysis only mocks her. Distress, misfortune, and diseases are her answer.

    Maybe the Anti-Christ and Melkor Satan as Sauron is a protege and originally a follower of Melkor
