The religion section . . . just like they do at your local bookstore(s).

The Bible is found in the Religion section. Religion is classified as a non-fiction subject. Check the 220 section for a Bible. The sections nearby will also contain Bible related information. There may also be a Bible in the reference section. Reference is preceded with an R i.e. (R 220.25, R220.30).
Also note: This is not a separation of church and state issue.All religions are represented in library information. The public has a right to access this religious information!!!!!!!!!!!

The Bible is carried in the 200 Section of the Dewey Decimal System - Religion. That makes it non-fiction.

In my library (the college of DAAP, University of Cincinnati), the Holy Bible is in the reference section, squeezed between two huge multi-volume encyclopedias.

if you reported 'neither', it may nicely be pronounced that the Dewey Decimal device is purely for non-fiction, so if that is put in the two hundred's lower than faith contained in the Dewey Decimal device, then that is in non-fiction. alongside with the Koran, the Rig-Veda, the e book of Mormon, etc., all in 'non-fiction'. likely sufficient to make your head spin.

They put it in the Reference section. That just means it's there for reference, it doesn't mean it's necessarily non fiction.

Ask any Librarian. Christianity or Bible is a library-science-classification in itself, apart from Fiction or nonFiction. A Title of its very own. A title with hundreds of sub-classifications; to be shown to you by your Librarian.

Non-fiction. Doesn't mean to say it's all accurate though!
Just like the boy who cried wolf, many of the stories are fables, but the intention at the time was that they made sense and help.

Hmmm. Methinks a double-barrelled question.
Usually in the reference section. Nice and safe!

Thats a good question. I think it may lie in the super fiction shelves
