Technically, one could make a case that all deities are fictional. But the deities in this particular category were deliberately invented and have not been seriously believed by anyone, as far as we know. This contrasts with the story of Jesus which is also at least partly made up. The Jesus myth copies from older stories about Mithra, Horus, Dionysos, Buddha and a few others (see [1]) but unlike the parodies in this category Christianity is taken seriously by very many people.
