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.

The existence of Christianity is a fact. The reasons for its existence are somewhat less clear...

@walabby Christianity exists just as other religions do.

@walabby Nice picture of actor Richard Gere.

After studying Zen for five or six years, he and Brazilian painter Sylvia Martins traveled in 1978 to Nepal, where he met many Tibetan monks and lamas. He then met the 14th Dalai Lama in India and became a practicing Tibetan Buddhist (specifically of the Gelugpa school) and an active supporter of the Dalai Lama. (from Wikipedia)

@JSul3 Yes. I hope that he doesn't mind me borrowing it. I always thought that he was a pretty good dude...
