The scary thing is, Brown throroughly believes his piece of fiction is factual, at least the conspiracy theory part. Brown believes tha Mary and Jesus were married and had a baby. Brown believes the gnostic texts are the true gospels more worthy than Mark, John, or Luke. Brown believes the Catholic church is covering up the truth.
I've seen a couple of his coy comments and wondered if they were true or if he is playing to his potential audience. There's a projected third book, isn't there?
The key to your post: "Brown believes..." We all base our faiths on what we believe. Brown may very well believe that Mary and Jesus were married-- that is his right. That I believe he is wrong is MY right, and neither of our beliefs should be affected by the other (much as I might like everyone to believe as I do).
This is the essence of faith-- recognizing that it IS faith, not provable fact. Politically, we must acknowledge the rights of others to believe, and express those beliefs, in a way inconsistent with or even contrary to our own beliefs.
Liberals cannot do this apparently. They require not only that we allow them to believe as they wish, but that we accept and even agree with their beliefs. This, of course, is intolerance, which they would deny.

Well, we know whose bidding he is doing, and it isn't our God's.
