Hi all,
This is why Bookshare needs a professional librarian on its staff.
There are ways that books are numbered and categorized so that one can
easily separate fiction from nonfiction. Hmmm, seems I remember two
systems from my school days. One is the Library of Congress system and
the other is the Dewey Decimal system. Both are good, and probably the
best way to handle a book whose categorization is doubtful is to ask
the local public library. They will know.

Original message:
Maybe the easiest thing to do is to use the same category as NLS and
call books having to do with
religious subjects religion, and let the reader decide truth or
falsehood. Or if you know
it's supposed to be nonfiction and it's religious call it religious
nonfiction. Sometimes there can
be a gray area when something is based on fact, but not exactly true.
