I have actually seen many textbooks that do cover some biblical events. Of course they don't list them as all definate, because different religions have differnt beliefs, and they will pay more attention to those that have significant historical and achieological evidence to them. But they do often cover them as a background of what Christians believe happened, usually in conjuction with what other religions believe as well. For example, the story of the flood is common in many other religions and cultures besides Christianity, and many textbooks from public elementary school up to college level history do cover it. All that aside, I don't think what a history textbook chooses to include or exclude is a good basis for anyones religious beliefs or lack thereof - let alone whether or not they actually happened. For example, textbooks for fourth graders commonly only cover a select few of the battles of the civil war - the most inportant ones. That doesn't mean those other battles didn't happen, just that the editors of the book did not think they were necessary for the subject matter or the audience to learn at that time. Not even graduate level textbooks will have ALL details of historical events
