The Catholic Church declaring that a collection of fictional stories are the word of god and 1.345 billion people believing that does not make the collection of stories not fictional. You're appealing to authority and the populace.

I'd rather appeal to, let's say, popularity. So, because a lot of people take it seriously, to a degree, it's important to look at it how valid it is really, instead of just dismissing it all as fake, or forgery.
