I am contending that it is our Christian history that gives us our values. And, obviously to my thinking, we have that history because God exists.

Totally false. You have that history, because the Emperor of Rome and his successors existed. 
Constantine called the Council of Nicaea. He didn't care what they agreed on, as long as they agreed on something. 
The churchy dudes VOTED non-unanimously on what would become "orthodoxy" and dogma. 
Also all the other councils ... you can watch them cook up Christianity over the decades / centuries. 
The proceedings of the councils are available on Fordham University's website. 
You should read them. Christian history does give you, your values, and along with the Inquisition,
Its nothing to be proud of.

The idea you did not get your values from Jesus himself, refutes your nonsense.

Your history is sordid and immoral. Catholics, Baptists, and all other sects.
They abused children.
