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.

I notice you live in the UK. A lot of churches offer an Alpha course from time to time. Joining one of these may help you on your journey. Nicky Gumbel’s books themselves are very good. I would suggest you read his ‘Questions of Life’ .

Perhaps read one of the Gospels slowly. Mark is a good way to start.

Some verses in the Bible stand alone and challenge you directly. As did Revelations 3.20 me.

Essentially Christians believe that Jesus is Lord, and God raised him from the dead. (Romans 10.9-11.)

You seem to have excluded prayer from your thinking. Christians do a lot of that. Both on their own and in groups.

You don’t incidentally have to be an American fundamentalist to be a Christian.
