Is Christianity Fact or Fiction

I like to provoke thought that is why I am asking this question Is Christianity Fact or Fiction.
The main reason that we would say that it is fact is when we read the bible it tells of the historical side to Judaism and Christianity, when we read the new testament which teaches that Jesus Christ the son of God came and died on the cross for our sins. Is this a good enough reason to believe? We are told that Adam and Eve were confronted by Satan in the garden of Eden and they ate from the forbidden tree in the garden and therefore sin entered the world, after all we see a very fallen world around us today.
On the other hand The main reason that we would say fiction is could the bible be just a book that someone has written to get us to conform and to discipline our lives. Maybe there is no God or Jesus, no Heaven or Hell.
I would like to hear what folks have to say on the subject, I have a belief if anyone wishes to guess which belief I have feel free to say.

Christian fundamentalists literally believe everything in the Bible. They believe Noah reached 900 years old and had an ark full of animals. They believe Adam and Eve were real and were tempted by Satan who took the form of a snake. It's too ludicrous to even contemplate those as facts. The Bible, if it's anything, is a book of metaphors designed to explain a complicated world to illiterate people. It's pure fiction.

Real Christians know they cannot go looking for factual evidence of God, because their religion relies on faith, it's the very bedrock of Christianity. Faith is defined as 'belief without evidence' and Jesus advised his followers to have faith. The minute you look and find evidence, then you have no need of faith and your religion is rendered worthless. The entire basis of Christianity relies on you reading the Bible and simply believing it without question.
