There is fiction and nonfiction. Things such as auto/biographies fall under nonfiction, and things such as fantasy fall under fiction. Right? And *then* (as my fifth grade teacher so confusingly put it, and I've learned to just accept it that way) comes things such as religion, which *doesn't* stand next to fiction and nonfiction, it falls *under* both.
Right? Or no? And if I'm wrong, could you explain this to me? I know Wikipedia isn't the most reliable source in the world, but even it says, "Note that reporting the beliefs of others in a non-fiction format is not necessarily an endorsement of the ultimate veracity of those beliefs, it is simply saying that it is true that people believe that (for such topics as mythology, religion)." Which can be found when searching "nonfiction" on Wikipedia. So! Wikipedia is on the same page as I am when I say there is *only* fiction and nonfiction, no third category for religion, which would fall under one of the two, depending on who you ask.
Okay, I guess my actual question is, am I right when I say this?
*Ahem* And I'd like to take this opportunity to quote the book, To Kill a Mockingbird, that says something along the lines of, "Lawyers only ask questions that they already know the answer to." I'm no lawyer, but...
