More likely they were men of real faith who knew that even if they recanted their faith, they would still most likely have been put to death anyway

I'm sure Jesus was a top bloke full of good intentions, albeit a bit delusional.
I think we have strayed somewhat from our initial debate(religion being taught as fact in primary schools).

Illustrated bibles contain someone's interpretation of what the bible says. Therefore, they may have changed Adam and Eve to white. In fact, IIRC, the bible doesn't directly describe their appearance at all.

I have yet to see an illustrated bible(typically modern day children's bibles) where Adam and Eve are anything other than white.
If you type Adam and Eve into google images then this is what you get:
Adam and Eve
Overwhelmingly white I would say.
