Is it Unfair to call Religion "Fiction"?

The Atheist Republic "Religion is Fiction" bumper sticker elicited outrage from a visitor. Apparently, even though very few confirmed facts can be found in religious texts or theology, "fiction" is a word simply too outrageous to bear.

The accused:

Fiction

ewNO said, "i am so offended by this sticker as i saw it i nearly threw up with such disgrace. If someone wants to believe in religion they can don't tell them it is false or fiction because you might as well say that everything you believe in is fiction to us because we don't believe in it we respect you not believing in god but don't bring us down because we do."
