For the last two, you have solid hard evidence that indeed, the Earth is
round, and indeed, Octavian was the first emperor of Rome. Christ is
something else. We did learn at school about the historical character
Jesus, for the little we know about him, and about the historical
development of Christianity. But anything else (the "story" of Christ as
given by the New Testament, the miracles, etc...) is the domain of belief,
without any hard proof to prove it really happened that way, and thus is
not to be taught at school. And no, the New Testament is no hard proof,
just like we don't trust blindedly Homer to have given us a good idea of
what the War of Troy was like, although we know that war did happen.
