Judeo-Christian principles included a lack of woman's rights even though many pagan societies gave rights to women. Many Gnostic sects practiced giving women equal rights as men in church. Paul was against it and Christianity modeled itself after Paul.
Slavery was an institution supported by numerous biblical quotations. (Servent=slave in the Bibe.) It was also incorporated into the US Constitution under the 3/5 ths compromise.
The genocide of Native Americans was also biblical as preachers would quote Romans and Psalms, that the heathen lands were theirs to take.
Of the 3 mentioned negative aspects of Christian morality, I suspect slavery and genocide would have happened with or without the wonderful support of Jesus as they are simply a matter of economics. The Karl Roves of their era would have found an excuse. The lack of woman rights, however, I lay at the feet of religion.
