That is utter bullshit, there are many religions other than Christianity that have the same message, some far older than that. And where did you ever get the idea from that Christianity brings us notions of equality?
I wish I could give you one hundred kudos for that. I'll further your response and say that religion itself is probably not responsible for respect for life, equality and compassion. All of these things go back as far in human history as we've been able to delve.
