I think I'll stick to the Silmarillion, it's a much more compelling origin story than Genesis (either version).

Feel free.

But how much of the world's resources have been dominated by folks placing their faith in Eru Ilúvatar?

And I'm sure you're aware Tolkien was a devout Catholic, and described his works as fundamentally Catholic?

Yep, and CS Lewis was religious as well- didn't stop me from enjoying the creation of narnia in the Magician's Nephew. It did stop me from enjoying the Last Battle, as that was too egregious.
