It wouldn't shock me that The works of the Ring have a bit more fleshed out backstory than the bible.

At the same time, I think one has a clear advantage in impact over the other.

 Impact?  Harry Potter impacted a single generation.  The Lord of the Rings has inspired almost ever major fantasy work since, or at least every one which involves elves, dwarves, orcs, wizards, and war.
