The Kingdom of England was formed in the 10th century. Christianity had already arrived in the 7th century. Then the reformation by Henry the 8th makes it a fact that England is founded and built on Christianity.
So the fact remains. Western civilization is based on Christianity
The Common Law was based on the Anglo-Saxon law going back to the 5th century. and that was heavily influenced by the Roman Law preceding it going back to the 1st Century CE. And even before that there was what is usually referred to as the 'Common Celtic Law', that accounted for kinship, contracts, and crimes such as murder, robbery, and theft; usually punished with fines or outlawry.
All civilizations in history had a legal system, Agnostico, the Sumerians, Chinese, Egyptians, without exception. The notion that our laws started with Christianity is arrogant and absurd.

Theism doesn't have a set of morals, but most theists have a set of morals. Atheism doesn't have a set of morals, but most atheists have a set of morals.
Theists espouse whatever morality the religion they were raised in or adopted promotes. You can't escape your own agency in choosing what code to follow, even if it only amounts to 'whatever this book says'.
Most of the atheists you're interacting with are secular humanists, and humanism is an ethical stance.
The rest of your 'facts' are mere trolling and butt-hurt.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
