idk if you'll see this OP but I get you. I'm an ex-christian personally, so I find a lot of extremely obvious chrstian allegory/metaphor hard to swallow, and that definitely includes Morgoth, the gift of death, and other bits. But if you can take a moment to step back and realize that Tolkien did absolutely nothing with Iluvatar directly outside the Ainulindale, you can divorce the character from the allegory easily - and also laugh that Tolkien got on Lewis' case for heavy-handed allegory and then turned around and did a little heavy-handed allegory of his own. It is really gross how susceptible men are compared to dwarves, elves, and hobbits, but I guess Tolkien saw enough of man's complete inhumanity during the war to be very pro-human.
