Are the values we hold 'Christian values'?

[Slimebeast]

Some typical Western values that largely can be traced to Christian influence:

Every human has individual inherent value despite what your talents or works are, despite your position in life (Christian origin: man is the image of God. God's own son died for every man. No man can earn his way to righteousness or into heaven by doing good deeds)

Altruism instead of elitism (this is strong in Eastern religion too, but not in pre-Christian European/Greco-Roman culture as far as I know)

The concepts of good and evil and the belief in free will are still much stronger in the West than the atheist/naturalist/socialist belief that the individudal is just a product of nature and nurture and has no inherent responsibility for his actions.

Individualism instead of collectivism. The integrity of each individual. According to Western values the individual is more important than the collective which is a principle very much guiding our actions and our laws.

Universal human rights and equality between nations and peoples (In Christianity: "There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female.")

Anti-materialism

Guilt and self-criticism. In the West it is a virtue to be self-critical and humble.

Our idealisation of love as the highest of all traits (The importance of love is hammered through the whole New Testament.)

Sexual morals - we still tend to idealize sex out of love rather than lust.
