Killing Abel is definitely way more fictional than religious. The author even classified it has historical fiction and many fictional stories and exaggerates were added.

This is a fictional account of some stories contained in the Bible. It is religious book but fictional

It's definitely more frictional than religious. If I were to give children to read it, I'd have to explicitly tell them what they were reading wasn't fact but fictional. But it's also an important book because it would get the children to ask important questions about God, then I'd explain to them to using the bible.
I'm here for a good time, not a long time. Yolo!

I believe this book is more fictional then it is religious since it describes events that are very loosely tied to the Bible, this novel really only uses the name of Bible characters and the outline to the Bible stories. The way that the author describes the emotions of characters and actions not mentioned in the Bible firmly cements my stance on this being a fictional book rather than a religious book.

I think it's more fictional considering the fact that what took at most ten pages of the Bible, the author expanded it into over 200 pages. However, it was still backed up religiously.

I think it is caught in the middle. It was a mix or rather a fluid story of the original.

The book is a religious book. The fact that the Author uses the bible as a reference point should be self explanatory

This is a pure religious book but I must say it is mixed with fiction because the author added some things to make the book interesting. If you don't know the true story one will get confused.

Killing Abel is frictional and should not be mistaken as religious by anyone in anyway, it's purely and mostly the author's thoughts.

The book is more fictional, and I do not think Children should be allowed to read it so that they do not confuse fiction with the real things that happened in the Bible.

Killing abel is a total work of fiction and this should be potrayed and known to everyone, I don't think it should be read by children .

A sublime mixture of fiction and religion, but it is more religious than anything else.

I would say it has been hard to answer this question in my head because if I answered religious then that would mean that this book has more in depth knowledge on the book of genesis than the Bible
