The Lord of the Rings storny is sited by some Christians as one that tells a Christian message. You have magic, and Sauron. You have good battling evil. God is remote in it.

The author's intention was for no allegory. But I suppose you can take it how you want.

When you play around with symbolism, good and evil, and so on, you end up creating stories that end up having a message behind them. Tolkien's background ended up having a message come through, even if the intention wasn't there.
I also find it interesting with the Matrix Trilogy the creators weren't trying to tell an allegory, just have a story, but they borrowed symbolism and so on, they end up looking like they had a message they were telling.

you mean just like the people who wrote the bible?

Depends on what is considered behind the word "inspired". Architypes have powerful meaning in conveying messages, even if the writer may not be aware.
