When Dan Brown was being sewed for copyright, I saw a television show about it, and one of the central issues was the copyright infringement was only possible because he wasn't labeling it fiction. He had taken the idea of Jesus being married to Mary Magdalene from another book in which the author claims it to be true. The story goes that he only labeled his story fiction to avoid the lawsuit.
Take this for what it is, however, which is me recounting what I saw on a television documentary. As to the truth of the documentary, I don't know, and I'm too damn lazy right now to verify it through an internet search.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
