In the second part of The Silmarillion we laugh with Tulkas, cry with Nienna, gaze on the starlit face of Varda and meet the rest of the Valar and Maiar who entered into the world at its beginning. We also answer the age-old question: which of the Valar would be the most fun at parties?

This makes sense as Tolkien was a firm believer in christianity, so we see his faith influencing his stories and works, even though he hated allagory.

The Nicene Creed describes the Holy Spirit as the "Lord and Giver of Life." This includes non-Christian Life, animal and vegetable. The Secret Fire is not incompatible with Medieval Christian theology's vision of the Holy Spirit, which is tied very firmly to the Nicene Creed (~325 A.C.E.). In Eastern Christian theology, the term Uncreated Light sounds eerily similar to "Flame Imperishable" from the Silmarillion.
