A:

Sometimes, Bible stories are included in studies of world literature for their historical importance and because it is possible to study the poetic structure and evolution of some books. Of course, sometimes Bible stories are included merely as a backdoor attempt to introduce Christian teachings into what should be secular studies.

One way to tell which is the reason for including Bible stories in the curriculum is to see whether their inclusion is balanced by the inclusion of scriptures or stories from other religions, and whether those stories are treated in the same sympahtetic way.
