There is absolutely nothing special about any religion or any god claim. Our species was around long before any written religion. Our planet was around long before humans. Our universe will be here long after our planet dies and we go extinct.
Now here is where the theist stupidly acts like a brat and falsely claims bigotry.
Huge difference between protecting human rights, and pointing out to your fellow human that they got it wrong.
It is childish and absurd to get angry at those who point out, "That was then, REGARDING ALL RELIGIONS, and this is now. It was understandable when humans didn't know any better, that they gap filled with bad guesses, but we know better now."
There certainly are decent human beings as individuals in ALL RELIGIONS. And followers of every religion can and do point to their kind motifs and kind figures. That does not say to me that our species morality was handed down to us magically by a divine source. That says to me that our morality was always in our genes.
So no, Christianity is not special, neither is Jewish or Islam or Hindu or Buddhist. A religious label does not have any magic power to make the individual only do good. Every nation friend and foe alike, have hospitals and prisons. You are good as an individual, as an individual, nothing more.
I will always value my fellow human being's POTENTIAL to be good and non violent. I only disagree with theists as to where our species morality is really coming from. But I will ALWAYS value human rights.
Moses is a myth. Sorry someone sold you that myth. That is your baggage not ours.

If you consider the time adam spent in the Garden worship God you can go back all the way till the 3 or 4th day of creation 100 bazillion years ago. (or fill in the blank to whatever number "science" now uses.
