You seem to be uninterested in using the word “hoax” accurately, and more interested in using it as a sort of insult against religion for some reason, and for some reason specifically against Christianity.
Religions, by their nature, are built on concepts that the authors hold to be true - if not literally true, then at least spiritually or philosophically true.
Hoaxes, by their nature, on built around known falsehoods that the authors do not hold to be true, propagated on for the sake of attention or ego.
If someone provided false evidence of an ancient Brittish cult of Cheese Worshippers, that’d be a hoax. If someone actually wrote a religious document about Cheese Worship in all earnestness, that’d be a religion, however odd or ephemeral it might prove in the end.
