No one does.
They freely admit it is not.
They didn't put a disclaimer on it, but they didn't put one on Spiderman, Pirates of the Caribbean or the Bible either.
Don't get me wrong. There are parts that are true, but it is for entertainment.

The Da Vinci Code is a made-up story that has historical tie-ins. The book presents itself as fiction. The author claims it is fiction. What more do people need?
It is fiction. Case closed.

True? Not in the least. All it is to me is a really well written book. If you believe that the Da Vinci Code is real, than you must think that the movie "Titanic" is real also and the people portrayed in that movie really lived.

Absolutely not. Brown mixed fact with fancy very well. Some of what he said, while not having been proven true, was based on other semihistorical writing. There are some rather odd circumstances with the Merovingians, for instance, that seem to be related to the Knights Templar, who seem to be related to the holy grail, etc. However, this is a novel, a work of fiction, a piece of "what if". It's as real as Star Trek

The prior of sion is not true, but everything else in the book is.
If you look at the images of the last supper given to you from Catholic church, there is always a different image of "john" than the one originally in the painting. This leads to a sign of tampering. Mostly, his face is less distingishable than the real painting, leading me to believe they do have something to hide.
The Knights Templars did indeed exist, and the catholic church did indeed try to assasinate every one, for an unknown reason.
Constantine was indeed pagan. After he died, his priest converted him to Christianity. While he lived, he tried to unify his kindgom by mixing Pagan beliefs with Christian. This resulted in things such as the Christmas tree, Easter, and other Christian holidays which fall on the same exact date as Pagan holidays do.
Da Vinci used mathematics in most of his work, always creating patterns in his art work that mimics the fibbonoci sequence, such as the angle and shape of Mona Lisa's smile and face. It's no coincidence that there is themes of the scared feminine in his art work, because he would often speak out against the Church for giving women such a low status in compared to men.

No. Anything that says that Jesus Christ is not Divine is false. That could be a "religion" or it could be a work of fiction like the Da Vinci Code.

Some of it is true.
It no secret at all the early church was motivated by the politics of the age. They did many things back then that were very much against what was the original teachings of Christ. Martin Luther tried to change some of this but even he could not change all of it. The church did compromise itself too satisfy the very organic thinking pagans of the day. In an attempt to appease people who had served Idols for many generations they gave in to letting people worship idols just as long as they were Christian idols. They're were even wars over this...it's one of the main appealing things about Islam that created many converts in the 7th century. The Byzantines tried to correct this problem but were unable to because of the sale and profit of these idols.

Even the author of the book and the producers of the movie have admitted that they are works of fiction. So there's no reason to believe that it is true.

The book is written as fiction and was intended to be fiction. I don't really understand all of the controversy unless you don't know the difference between fact and fiction.
