the only problem I see with human literature is that humans glorify their own creativity and imagination and minimize the idea that something greater than us is also out there
Personally, I would not be so dismissive of how humans interpreted what it means to be religious in thought if not in practice through literature. Try reading Les Miserables, even just the first chapters, then let me know if you still think literature can't help one understand what Jesus really said.

Read not to contradict and confute, not to believe and take for granted, not to find talk and discourse, but to weigh and consider. - Francis Bacon
