It depends on which Christian you ask. A graphic example; we have a new Christian-apologist member here who actually argued there is nothing wrong with slavery,and he is not the first we have had here.
PLUS Christianity is an entirely derivative religion, with no original ideas,, moral code or theology.
That is fair. Can we agree that the Jesus of the NT does make some prescriptions for how a person ought to act? The beatitudes for instance from the sermon on the mount, the golden rule, etc...
