Personally, I think it is a bit of a pointless argument. To those who believe in the contents of a particular theological piece will argue it is non-fiction. Those who do not will say it is fiction. If we were to consider real, objective truth and not taking personal opinions and beliefs into the mix a lot of non-fiction books (e.g. many pop-psychology books) would be considered fiction too if non-fiction == based on fact && fiction == not based on fact. I think a better view is that non-fiction is intended to be truthful whereas a fiction is intended to be made up.
