Tolkien was Catholic. He talked Lewis into Christianity. His argument came from myths (in the non-pejorative sense of a story of how things came to be). He said Christianity had the best myth.

Translation: he didn't believe in Adam and Eve.

Do you want to believe that he wasn’t a faithful Christian, despite lifelong evidence of Christian faith? Are you trying to emphasize that those who do not interpret Genesis as a literal history book are not truly Christian? Well, Tolkien still gets the credit for helping Lewis find Jesus anyway.
