non religious people only........ do you think the bible was just a fiction book that became so popular that people actually thought it was true?

It was an early attempt of explaining how we got here and what our purpose is, ect... basically, yeah, it's now a book of fairy tales, though this jesus fellow did have a few nice things to say about brotherly love, and kindness, and not judging people, and such.. somehow though, the religion which became of it all have long lost their way.
