Hi.
Butterburs' exlamations seems more religious than most of what is found in the LotR. Even if it seems unlikely the Valar are generally known in Bree, what about Eru Iluvatar? It seems strang that there is no religion in a pre-scientific society like Bree.
Even if the Bree-landers, or any other of the good people of Middle-Earth, don't have any councious knowledge of Eru, would a "longing of the soul" for Eru be possible? Not an expert on Christianity, but think I have heard about such a longing of the soul.
