why do non-denominational people follow it? God did not write a book, and even their own Bible never mentioned that God wrote a book, so what makes them think the Bible is not man-made?

Well, we know for a fact that God didn't write the Bible.. so yes, it's man-made. However, adherents to that book will claim that the Bible is divinely inspired, and therefore indirectly attributed to God.
However scholars are starting to question the later parts of the New Testament, as they may have been written some time after the fall of Rome. This destroys the validity. Man has also removed books in what is called the Apocrypha, and the Coptic/Gnostic Gospels (Like Thomas or Mary)
Also, there are multiple versions, all of which were made my the hands of man, NIV, KJV, Dewey and the like.

as far as im concern, I've never seen a non-denominational bible. Most non-denominational churches read from the NLT.
And the bible was written by man from the works of God.

The bible was written by old men, but passed off as the "word of God." The four accepted gospels of the New Testament were written more than 50 years after Jesus died (there does not appear to be any historical evidence that Jesus even existed, but never mind). As far as I know, there were no eyewitnesses to corroborate any of the events depicted in the bible.

The paper and ink are man made, but the words are inspired by God.
