If my elementary school training was correct, that makes the Bible "non-fiction".
"Non-fiction has numbers", we were told.
I'm not sure Dewey attempts to separate fact from fiction -- just to categorize the author's intent (or assertion).
In addition to the Christian Bible, the "non-fiction" section also contains religious texts that refute it. And New Age crystal vibration harmonic ecstasy stuff. And Dianetics.
The wide disagreement on "fiction" vs "non-fiction" is probably not a solvable problem. See also: a world map, at any time in recorded history.
